[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is ST math doesn't have any word problems. The SOL uses word problems and so does IXL. So practicing on ST math doesn't do anything to actually help them with the assessment. ST math is mostly pictures and visuals, and kids spend a lot of time manipulating pictures. It is also very repetitive. It is extremely inefficient and doesn't help improve real math ability. Also, what's the point of being in a classroom if you're working on a laptop? Can't we get back to paper and pencil. That's the whole point of being "in class" after all.[/quote] Paper is not the point of being in class. Other people is the point of being in class. Didn't your kid have access to paper during virtual school? The rest demonstrates such poor understanding of math pedagogy that I can't even respond to it, other than to pray you don't have kids you try to help with their homework. [/quote]
