[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I went to school, it was much more on your own.  The second grade class across the hall did very different work from my class.  I don't mean like different topics but one teacher might choose a group project for a topic and another might lecture.  Different worksheets etc.  We did have a math book.[/quote]
I'm all for teachers having the autonomy to create their own lesson plans, rearrange topics, whatever.  Yes, this does mean there would be different results in different classrooms, but that's kind of the point of having a teacher in front of the class and not a video screen.  They bring their unique set of skills to the class.  But that's beside the point.  With math 2.0 there are no textbooks and there aren't enough materials to teach the classes.  It's one thing at the 2nd grade level, I can see how people might not find it alarming that teachers have to generate those worksheets.  But this is at all levels.  Algebra is now being taught without a textbook.  As far as I can tell the only materials are giant packets provided by the curriculum office and a list of links to online lessons which may or may not sync with the curriculum.
