It should be the decision of the TEACHER. [b]Every class is different and every child is different. But everyone exept the teacher gets a say in this.[/b] 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?

Not either PP.  But the latter PP does not get the point.  Every class IS different.  The point is that some kids already know the facts--a teacher may have a class that already knows the facts.  She may have a class with tons of parental support who will practice at home.  OR, she may have a class where little support is given outside of class.  The teacher should have the discretion to evaluate her own students and choose the best way to be sure the kids know the facts.
