[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The Singapore Math manuals were another problem: they provided very little guidance on how to teach a particular lesson—because they are written for teachers who, for the most part, have a deeper understanding of mathematics than most U.S. teachers do." Exactly. Here in the US we have "professional educators", not mathematicians. How are you supposed to get a child where he/she needs to go when you haven't even been there yourself? [/quote] There is a possibility of using a combined math major and teacher with a[i] certificate. [/i]MCPS is hiring them in large numbers. That said, if a teacher has a college degree and can't teach K-4 math from Singapore without a manual, I feel sorry for that teacher. [/quote]
