>Math Wars : BOE once again puts Politics over Education
The “text book” does not have any examples, just more questions. Most of the problems are language based. If you don’t know what you are doing there is no where to turn. That is why it takes so long to do the homework – and no two problems are the same. There is no mastery of a topic, they just keep moving around.
It is wrong for the BOE to ignore the problem with the math program. But I forgot – they are busy working on lighting the ball fields for the late night sports. Their priorities are all in the wrong places. EDUCATION FIRST!!!
