Yeah, not the case for this area as this is a school that has very high testing. It is a stand out for standardized tests and regularly places in the top ten percent.

The common core standards may be a good idea, but the methods are stupid. The math is particularly strange and seemingly unnecessarily so. They are the product of more over educated educators who are too stupid to teach and that is saying a lot.

The problem stems from the lack of discipline and the denial of the fact that not everyone learns in the same manner and some children, believe it, are stupid. Where do you think Democrat voters come from.

What level math? My children are beyond elementary school but visual models are now being used quite a bit at the elementary level to help explain mathematical concepts.
