[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to be able say you send your daughter to Brearley, send her to Brearley. If you want her to be able to critically think or know her multiplication tables, maybe have a long, hard think about which is more important  because right now it’s a choice.

(it’s not en vogue to teach math in ways we know works, it’s why everyone does Russian or Kumon because those ways actually do work. i figured out my kid did math facts on a computer which is why she didn’t reach fluency, i looked into and supplemented it on my own. all that homework, all those tutoring hours to fill out worksheets about how you feel about your friends rather than learning to do arithmetic in their head. no wonder they are cranky).

So which is the school that you’re moving your child to that does everything the traditional way? I’m curious because all the private schools do the same thing. Brearley at least does Singapore Math, which is more traditional than Bridges and the like. [/quote]
