[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That is the [b]decision of your school or your school district.[/b] My child in MCPS spent a lot of time on math facts in class. In fact, parents on DCUM complain bitterly about this, because their advanced children already know the math facts and so how come they have to waste their time on this preschool math when they are ready for calculus.[/quote]

It should be the decision of the TEACHER.  Every class is different and every child is different. But everyone exept the teacher gets a say in this.  That's the problem.  The districts that are doing well are the ones that hire the best and then let them teach based on who is in front of them.  
  
And this is why teacher made lessons are the best.  It's like getting a custom made suit instead of something off the rack.  It fits a whole lot better and it is the right color and material.

It should be the decision of the teacher, whether or not the curriculum covers math facts in class? So if you get a teacher who thinks that math facts should get taught in class, you'll learn your math facts, but if you get a teacher who thinks that math facts should not get taught in class, you'd better hope that you learn them somewhere else?
