I feel as though my son doesn't learn anything now. He comes home confused, doesn't understand the materiel. I have to go over it again with him. Also his teacher expects me to read chapters and create homework and tests. It's fucking ridiculous if you ask me. Homeschool is sounding much better each and every day.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1473858 Same here. Do you know if your son is doing anything called Everyday Mathematics? They do not even teach the multiplication tables...my daughter came home with some sort of weird method of doing multiplication on her hands, I don't even understand what that's all about. Yes! My son is trying to show me that they do some kind of box method to do multiplication. I am telling him that is a waste of time but he swears that's the way his teacher want's him to do it. It's freekin stupid if you ask me. What grade is your son in? They do the lattice method, it's garbage. Here, read this about "reform math": [ link to www.americanthinker.com] For anyone curious, there are depictions of the "box multiplication" on that page too. He's in 4th grade. But he tells me it's easier. Like for example if he has to do 74x3 he will put 70 in one box and 4 in the other. but you still have to get over the hump of 7x3 you know? I had him do one in a box method it took him 10 minutes to do one problem, then I had him do it the traditional way, the way you and I were taught, he had it done in less than a minute. Why are they teaching kids this crap?
