[quote=Anonymous]You ask why is EDM a problem? Because the American education system does not really create circumstances that make it effective. In middle to poor areas its use is a disaster because the classes really never can keep track of support the transitions that are required so learn from exploration. The classes are too large, teachers too inexperienced in math and the language and behavior issues are too large. Furthermore lack of some rote knowledge means that Americans vaguely remember some experiment but not the actual math facts. Well off areas not sure what their excuse is but I also remember that I loved the idea that there was no truth and post-modernism. I have since recovered. I want my kid to know how to do things and I have seen no evidence of strong math skills where it is used. [/quote]
