[quote=Anonymous]Since the whole purpose of Everyday Math is suppose to be allowing children to learn different methods, I think it would be good if they left room for kids to do more drills, flash cards, and other "old school" techniques as PP describes above. However, I think the biggest problem with EDM is that it is different from how the parent generation learned math, so we have a knee-jerk animosity towards it. We are frustrated when we look at the homework, and can't help because we aren't familiar with EDM techniques. If schools really want to sell parents on this, they need to make LOTS more available online to parents to easily and quickly explain the techniques.[/quote]
