[quote=Anonymous]The group work is another huge problem. It may sound good but what I saw on open house day when DS was in fourth was a joke. Being able to either justify a solution to table-mates or accept someone else's argument as superior are both fairly sophisticated skills. Instead I was just seeing kids un-teaching each other and talking past one another. Then someone says I did it on the calculator. Only the answer is wrong, but who can argue with the guy holding the box? When the teach drew discussion back to the front of the class no table had the answer. Unfortunately (since it's not at all in vogue) learning math is a fairly solitary endeavor and it requires a pencil in hand and some time to think. The free for all I observed that day and have seen since just doesn't work. [/quote]
