[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2-3 kids in my ES class who are kicked up an hour early every day. Every day. They miss math every day. Their parents don’t seem to care. I’ve asked for if there was an issue with someone picking them up on time after school and they all said they didn’t want to wait in the car pool line. They asked me to send home their math for homework. Unbelievable. [/quote]

I think that’s crazy of the parents, but I also think having math at the end of the day is a really bad way to structure a grade school class. Their brains are done for the day by the time you are doing some of the most academic work?? Kids who leave early for appts have to miss foundational learning? Not really very well thought out.

And not under teachers' control either like most aspects of education. So I guess it won't matter when these kids can't do any other math because they don't know what 5 represents. Kind of hard to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers when you don't actually understand what they represent.[/quote]
