[too much time]

I will be really surprised to see what comes out of this, especially with the new mathematics program. I want some of the state senators kids and grandkids to fail math and watch the DoE scramble to fix it.

They will NEVER admit they were wrong, they will just create new buzzwords to explain the next big overhaul. We asked one of the UGA profs who helped create the new standards if other colleges (outside of Ga) would understand Math 1, Math 2, etc on a college transcript. He replied, "Well, they can understand a homeschooler's transcript, can't they?" They want to keep students in Georgia and the best way to do that is to make them too dumb to be accepted anywhere else.

The other problem with waiting and watching the math fiasco, is that I have to afterschool my kids until they fix the silly problem. Mine may be through with hs, by then! And boy, do they hate to see me pull out the Saxon and Singapore books!

You won’t go wrong with Saxon math, my mom used it on us from third grade up and I got a very solid math grounding. Great college prep work.

When your kids score high on the standardized tests, guess who will take the credit for all of **your** hard work at home?

Yep! The principal and teacher.

If you didn't do all that hard work at home and your child received a low score, who would the teachers and principal blame?

Yep! You the parent.

It's a no win game.
