I think it's a mistake to assume that if something is intuitive for you, it must be intuitive for everybody.

Fine, but what basis is there for thinking that this MCPS way is intuitive for anyone?[/quote]

It works for me and my kid.[/quote]

I think it's a mistake to assume that if something is intuitive for you, it must be intuitive for everybody.   Surely you can see that if there is a textbook, then people who don't learn in this {to me very illogical) way would have a better chance at figuring it out for themselves because they'd have a resource they could refer to?[/quote]

It is 2014. There is the Internet. There are lots and lots (and lots and lots and lots) of resources you can refer to.[/quote]

That's fine, because I'm happy to be my kid's teacher and teach her whatever the topic is in whatever way she can learn it.  But shouldn't she have some reference that we can refer to that tells her how the school thinks she's supposed to learn it?  Some people aren't auditory learners.  In fact, MOST people aren't auditory learners.  Which means that hearing it in school does very little good.  Hearing it in school, then going home and reading it, however, does a LOT of good.  But hearing it in school, then taking home a worksheet that provides no recap of how you're supposed to do it is totally useless.  Yes, I can just scrap the school method and teach my kid fractions in the way I think makes sense, but is that really the best we can do?  It's pathetic.[/quote]
