[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math scores are abysmal because the new math they teach is abysmal.  They don't teach basic math facts like multiplication tables.  What is happening is that parents are not able to offer the support at home.[/quote]

We moved to FCPS (MD), and my 4th grader, who knew his math facts from his MCPS school, is still working on them, as his teacher constantly reinforces the basics while teaching them new material.  I love it.[/quote]

My DS started when they rolled over to the 2.0 curriculum and they were not taught straight up multiplication table memorization.  They taught groupings (which is another valid way) and other multi-step, round-about ways.  Then they expected them to simply know 9x8.  It didn't work and he is still catching up.  [/quote]

My DS2 was the first group of kids that had 2.0 (current 9th graders). My DS1 was pre-2.0 and they were not teaching multiplication tables even then.  I taught them both multiplication tables as well as have been using commercially available curriculum and textbooks for them for years.

I am very saddened to see how low quality the education in this country is. It is shocking when you realize how much the county spends per child. For the 5 star cost, we are getting a 1 star education.  Most people are themselves ill educated and they don't care or understand what this all means.  They are electing the same incompetent and corrupt people to BOE year after year. [/quote]
