[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The book award in our grade normally goes to a beauvoir boy and most of the kids that get academic prizes are from beauvoir. [/quote]
It's possible for Beauvoir grads to have very strong individual students but be weaker in the aggregate than those entering the Cathedral schools in 4th grade from other parts of the area.  Not contradictory at all.[/quote]

Define “weaker.”  Beauvoir math emphasizes [b]problem-solving and conceptual understanding[/b], so they do not emphasize computation or rote learning.  If you place a Beauvoir 3rd grader against a Sidwell 3rd grader, the Beauvoir child might seem to be “weaker.”  However, the Beauvoir child will excel at conceptual and critical thinking as well as problem-solving. Beauvoir children is also very strong at teaching children how to learn and to enjoy the process. That has made the tuition worth it for us.  [/quote]

Stay in your lane.  It's pretty obvious you are unfamiliar with sidwell lower school[/quote]

Or any school. This is how math is taught pretty much everywhere, including public schools (in fact, it's the basis of common core math standards, which is why CC haters hate it -- the haters love rote learning). [/quote]

There is a matter of degree.  No, public schools do not teach math conceptually the way it’s taught at Beauvoir.  The reason why a lot of people hate the way math is taught in public schools is because it’s taught so badly.
