[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads always drive home for me how much we need higher math standards, whether CC or otherwise. A generation of parents who, for the most part, barely understand math, and yet still want their kids to learn it just like they did.[/quote] Barely understand? I'm computer scientist. Do you know the level of math knowledge that requires? Do you know how I'm able to do it? Because I had a strong math foundation at school.[/quote] And I've written and published papers, using the strong reading foundation I had at school. That doesn't mean that I know how to teach a child to read. In fact, life is full of similar examples: I've given speeches, but I can't do speech therapy. I play the piano, but I can't teach piano. Knowing how to do something and being able to teach somebody how to do it are related but different skills.[/quote]
