[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you haven't read this article yet, it explains very clearly why, at the elementary level, the *quality* of the math teacher, ie, a background in math theory, is tantamount to all else: http://www.aft.org/pdfs/americaneducator/fall2009/wu.pdf[/quote] Agree, but ASSUME that some teachers are bad and that your child will come in contact with them. Wouldn't you like to have a good curriculum in place as a buffer. Another problem with EDM is that the way it is set up (often no textbook) parents are taken out of the loop and can't work with their kids and supplement. EDM is making more work for the teachers by removing the parents from the educational process.[/quote]
