[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody is disputing that the demographics in the US and Japan are different. Nor is anybody saying that Curriculum 2.0 is the perfect math curriculum handed down on Mt. Math from the Great Math Teacher In The Sky. The question under discussion is whether "traditional math" teaching methods in the US (however defined) worked for most people in the US. And the answer to this question is: no.[/quote] But more importantly is there any reason to believe 2.0 is an improvement? Yes, there have been some changes but why do we believe they will work for more people than what we had. If 2.0 was pulled out of some half-wits ass in central office, I'd rather have the old system. Heck, I'd rather have any system that includes a book and a teacher. Our Algebra I is being taught out of slapped together packets.[/quote]
