Here my argument - why should teachers have to be so creative teaching math in DCPS?  All over the country, teacher rely on textbooks and teacher curriculum books to use best practices to teach mastery of the material.

All textbooks now are aligned with common core so I just don't understand why children can't have a well-written math textbook - Saxon, Harcourt, etc.  Go online and check these resources out.

Everyday Math is silly and I continued to be shocked by its use.

And I am sure you are a thoughtful parent so I hope I don't come off as rude.  I do grow tired of DCPS parents saying well my kids are doing well so all is well.  I would like to say - not so fast.  A lot of DC parents are highly, highly educated and I think the work at home (or dinner conversations, trips to museums, etc) that is done masks the mediocre education students receive in schools.

And, I think a strong math textbook can support a "crappy"" teacher.  Although DCPS get points for moving "crappy" teachers out of the system.
