[quote=Anonymous][quote]I can see how lower reading/writing skilled students would be forced to relearn how to do math in a verbal way and fail at it.[/quote] Math is NOT a verbal discipline!!! There is a reason why math includes numeric values, symbols, and equations. You do not build foundational math skills or approach complex math later on with a verbal method any more than you write a storytelling novel using numeric, values, symbols and equations. I really wish that we could have immersion day for the math phobic language arts people driving this curriculum. Kids K-3 would only be allowed to read Biscuit and pre-reader level picture books despite their reading level. All written work would need to be expressed in 0s and 1s, the core of binary ASCII text code. We can then see how they enjoy the deeper, rich language sense that we are giving them. [/quote]
