[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, that's the line they're feeding us. But is it true? [b]Is the new way actually better? [/b] Kids need to learn how to spell. They should not rely on spell check. Kids need to learn grammar. Grammar is the critical foundation for oral and written expression. [/quote] Yes. Definitely for math. At work I deal with a situation where members of the public think they're correctly following the directions on how to calculate a number, but they end up with a mathematically nonsensical result. Probably most of them were taught math as I was -- you do steps 1, 2, and 3, you get the answer, you're done. In contrast, my C2.0 kid in elementary school got a lot of emphasis on "does this answer make sense?".[/quote]
