When my son was in 3rd grade, he showed me what he was being taught in school for math, and I made him math tables to memorize and learn.
He apparently took them to school to show his friends. His performance improved dramatically, until I received a call at home from his teacher telling me that math tables were not approved as a teaching method. I asked her if she had a child. She said she did, a year ahead of my son. I asked her if she helped her at home. She said she did. I asked her how, and she sheepishly told me, “Math tables”.
I asked her the purpose of the call. She said her principal ordered her to call me. I called the principal and took her to task. We reached an understanding.
The first department President Trump needs to eliminate is the Education Department. The NEA and AFT need to be outlawed.
“I called the principal and took HER to task”, Houston I think we MAY have found the Problem!
