[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools have been chasing fad curricula since textbooks existed. My Aunt has been in education for 60 years and can list each decade's fad.[/quote] OP. This is totally believable. I was a victim of the "new math" of my era, which foisted an untested "new" approach that had no sound pedagogical basis on my generation of kids. [/quote] OP, how old are you and how old is your child? “New Math” was a trend in the 60s. Someone who experienced New Math is more likely to be a grandparent than a parent to an elementary school child. [/quote] There are parents of young children because they are fostering children or they have legal guardianship of a relative’s child. There are also parents who have given up infertility treatment and adopted babies when they were over 45. Don’t assume if someone didn’t give birth at 25 years old or didn’t give birth at all that they are not the parents. [/quote]
