[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the posts, but I disagree that there is no benefit to the way we did it when we were kids. It was MUCH faster. I think the greater emphasis on understanding in the current methods is wonderful but that the curriculum should move on much more quickly to practicing. Kids who are intuitively strong at math don't need to these labor intensive, breaking everything into steps OVER AND OVER AND OVER. They need practice. In the 70s and 80s, the pendulum was too far into rote repetition and practice. Now it has swung too far the other way.[/quote]
