Saxon supporters have often wished a movie could be made about him.

Uh, hello, Saxon? Not gonna happen.

My kids had Saxon math in the rural county where they grew up. When we moved to a more metropolitan area they were confronted with “fuzzy” math. The only thing that saved them was a solid grounding in basic arithmetic from Saxon math.

Today’s math miseducation almost appears to be a plot to strip America of her engineers and scientists, causing an artificial need for foreigners on visas.

Saxon Math is what we’ve been using. They did well.

Harcourt needs “inovation” and “change” so they can sell new books.”

Precisely, and the ed industry doesn’t care if they work or not. In fact, failure is an opportunity to sell new, “innovative” books.
