I can see using primary sources for research. That’s a good idea. I think the math curriculum is nuts.
Maybe your school is picking and choosing what they want and doesn’t buy into the whole curriculum.
I don’t mind primary sources as a supplement, but the teacher rarely lectures. They do tons of group projects.
It’s a bizarre class. My gifted daughter hates it, but has good grades. Her twin sister with special needs hares it and her grades are bad. She’s not learning anything, especially from the group work. The other kids in the group are basically doing the work. My daughter thinks that is wrong on multiple fronts.
I wonder if colleges will stop requireing the SAT after it switches to common core next year.
