LOL
Sore subject with me as my kids come home with math that is SOOOO STUPID ! ! !
they teach kids to subtract using some form of "all addition" so the slow kids "get it" then they teach multiplication of large numbers by using some square all chopped up into blocks where you imput some wierd *** sequence of numbers and come up with an addition problem to solve it....
WAIT
What was wrong with just teaching it the "regular way" and those kids that dont get it.... take them aside and give them a little "one on one" till they do get is....NOOOO we will dumb it down, complicate it, spin it in the food prossesor and spit it out all jumbled up so no one gets it EXCEPT the slow kids!!
<steps of soapbox>

We are fortunate enough to have outstanding schools in Gig Harbor though my ex finds it important to keep my son in Private. Ugggg. He's learning a lot but his 12 kid classroom until 5th grade will I fear hurt him in the long run
