[quote=Anonymous]6:49 did you have fractions in first grade? If not, then yes, I still consider it a recent change to teach fractions to kids in 1st grade. I don't think it's hard stuff at all. I just think it's ridiculous that one year halves are taught, then next year eighths are taught and the next year 1/2 is compared to 1/8 and the following year fractions are added and subtracted. Those could all easily be taught in one or two years except for a pacing curriculum which demands that a little bit be taught each year. All I was trying to get across is that private schools have more freedom to teach what they want when they want and from those different curriculums innovative ways of teaching are formed. Private schools probably started teaching more about the environment and now that is part of the standard curriculum. Public schools also used to have less character development but now since they can't have any religion in their schools, character development or ethics is starting to come into the curriculum more. Can you not see any benefits alternative schooling has on public schools?[/quote]
