[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are other systems that work this way, with good math outcomes. Many/most Singaporean schools shifted to in class differentiation at least in [b]primary [/b]and we should be so lucky as to have their math outcomes

Before anyone gets any ideas, no not everyone in Singapore is rich, despite that global stereotype.[/quote]

No, but everyone values education and is willing to put their money where their mouth is. Parents work multiple jobs to pay for their child's education.[/quote]

Primary grades are not middle and high school.  This nonsense removed algebra and geometry, basics, as core courses.  Math is math not social sciences and  somehow such an objective discipline is now subjective?  The rational for this junk is at https://www.mathedleadership.org/docs/resources/positionpapers/NCSMPositionPaper19.pdf

NCTM is in Reston.  Are these people engineers, actuaries, finance pros, statisticians or basic elementary ed and general math teachers ?   So in HS prior to grade 11 students have the same math as those who are learning basic fractions, multiplication, etc?  Consider that  FCPS gets students in middle and high school who have had little to no formal schooling.
