Why would I need anything more than a one or two page outline of topics to cover in a ninth grade algebra class?
When words like methodologies and learning styles show up, my BS detector starts going off.
Still trying to get to the bottom of my daughter's math issues (haven't had the meeting with her teacher yet) but had I have known they were using buckets & boxes instead of letters for variables, I wouldn't have bothered to jump start her algebra education using the antiquated methods of the 80's.
Apparently kids are having a hard time using letters in math problems? Need a different methodology.
I won't get into the "language arts" worksheet she had to dissect that was a propaganda piece on successes of the President....
