[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A person can really learn algebra from an older text book. [/quote] Well, yes, and at St. John's College, they learn calculus from Newton's Principia (or so I've read; I don't actually know this for a fact). My point is that while the subject matter may not change, the method of teaching the subject matter may change -- and not necessarily for the worse. Also, people love to point to "reform math" to show that the older ways were better. And if MCPS were using "reform math" (for example, Everyday Math), I would agree. But fortunately MCPS is not using "reform math".[/quote]
