[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] For anybody familiar with Singapore Math, the idea that educators can't understand it is much more disturbing than the ridiculous curricula that schools in our area embrace. If the teachers are that stunned, the problem is the teachers.[/quote]
