This guy thinks that problems with adding two fractions, or using algebra, began 10 years ago?!? He hasn't been paying attention! It's been going on for decades longer. Hmmm, could part of it be that universities allow more students in than they used to? What a concept.

vzteacher, asking to "give the program some time" is unconscionable as kids are being crippled while the "experiment" continues. Why we need to experiment when the rest of the world has found what works is beyond me. I guess the purpose is to employ those American academics who are paid to tinker and tamper.
I have no doubt your students' scores are great in Everyday Math tests. At issue are the rest of the world's test scores.
They are eating our kids for breakfast, while we play Experiment.

100% agreed. the purpose of Everyday Math is another way to dumb down our children!
