When someone in the audience (presumably a parent, but it’s not certain) asks if teachers will be, you know, correcting students who don’t know rudimentary arithmetic instantly, August makes another meandering, long winded statement.
“We want our students to compute correctly but the emphasis is really moving more towards the explanation, and the how, and the why, and ‘can I really talk through the procedures that I went through to get this answer,’” August details. “And not just knowing that it’s 12, but why is it 12? How do I know that?”
So there's really no guarantee that the students will be corrected at all, as long as they can explain why they know 3x4=11.
I know, I got taken to the wood shed already.
I assumed they were corrected...my bad.
