[quote=Anonymous]I don't really have any strong feelings about Everyday Math, but I am amazed by the obsession of some on this board who hate it so much. My DC went through with it without any apparent harm and Everyday Math games were useful in gaining simple math sense and facts without rote memorization. If Everyday Math manages to keep most students from hating math as a subject, it would be a big improvement over the old fashioned way. For the proponents of acceleration, what level of math do you expect a high school to be able to teach? TJHSST and the selective privates don't have math classes beyond 2nd year college math classes(linear algebra, differential equations, numerical analysis) because it is essentially impossible to find high school teachers able to teach material beyond that level. As another poster noted, if everyone ends up in the same place in high school, why stress about what they could do in 3rd grade?[/quote]
