[quote=Anonymous]I disagree with Catholic School Mom's generalization about the math taught in Catholic schools here in the Diocese of Arlington. I, too, am a Catholic School Mom and our chidren already knew the subtraction she describes (I should specify...our children were taught) in first grade. Second grade consisted of larger digit arithmetic, geometric intro and a lot of story problems that were pretty algebraic (basically solving for "x" without mentioning it). Furthermore, all second graders had basic multiplication down by the end of the year and went into 3rd grade with the requirement of knowing their times tables. All this to say that I have no clue if this would get a kid prepped for AAP (although I think those who belong in AAP would have no trouble with the math) but I think it's unfair for her to throw all Catholic schools under the train. Her specific experience shouldn't be generalized to all.[/quote]
