[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2.0 they absolutely are doing fake math problems. Its stupid. Incredibly stupid.

You really think the reason that US students score so low compared to other nations despite what we spend on education is because parents think the teachers are not smart? Really? So if we all start kissing the asses of fools like you, close our eyes and pretend real hard that our school aren't failing then "Wow, Dorothy, the schools aren't failing! Gee MCPS is just dandy, Just dandy I say lets give Idiot Starr a big gold medal. Oh I love MCPS."

We have absolute idiots running our school system. This is why the system is declining.

MCPS is an embarrassment. Plain and simple. [/quote]

From what I understand, the US has been steadily scoring lower over several years.  It didn't just happen with the implementation of 2.0 a few years ago.  Even adults in the US perform lower in math than adults in several countries.  In the past 20 years or so, the US has just done a poor job teaching math, way before common core.

I think there are several reasons why as a whole this country doesn't perform as well as other countries, one of which is that, as a whole, we don't value education as much as some of the other countries do.

And I don't understand what fake math is, either.  My DCs, under 2.0, do real math.. like 1+1, memorize multiplication tables, that type of math.   Yes, they are learning basic maths in different ways, composing, decomposing, etc... but at the end of the day, they are expected to do simple math problems in their heads.[/quote]
