[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is so telling that simply saying that losing education has costs elicits these defensive and ridiculous responses.[/quote]

Nah. Perhaps people with critical thinking skills are simply tired of listening to the same groups of parents whine about every single thing, [b]skirt responsibility for being parents[/b], and blaming the school system for every single thing in their lives. [/quote]

I definitely don't believe that there's a direct line between skipping parts of the math curriculum this year and losing the (apparently) cut-throat global competition to be an Alpha rather than an Epsilon. [b]However, since when is it a [i]parental responsibility[/i] to teach your child math?[/b] Isn't that what we have educated/certified teachers, in schools, for? The parents' responsibility is to make sure the child goes to school; the school's responsibility is to teach math.[/quote]

Ahem, pre pandemic, it was the parent's responsibility to make sure the math got learned. If your child never got a dud math teacher before, count yourself lucky. There was no time to wail that the teacher did a poor job and now my kid is struggling. You do what you have to to give them the math foundation they need to progress.
