[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be more concerned about the quality of the MATH TEACHERS than a school's use of EDM. FWIW, GDS uses EDM and its math program is arguably among the strongest in the region.[/quote] Very good point. The problem with EDM is that it is dangerous in the wrong hands. Believe it or not, there are bad teachers at every school. Sidwell has bad teachers, so does Janney. Some say that [b]the best curricula are the ones that take the bad teacher into account.[/b] [/quote] This is why so many home schoolers like SM. It is clear, logical and straightforward. An educated parent who was not a math major can use it and get reasonable results. EDM requires that a teacher understand how the games and activities serve as review lessons, and also understand how the spiraling of math concepts works on a theoretical, not just pedagogical, level.
