“Everyday Math is an absolute atrocity as curriculum. If anyone is out to destroy the ability of children in this country to learn math skills, that is the stuff to use.”

Not according to one lady on this site. She thinks that all that’s needed is for parents to “STOP BOYCOTTING the education of their kids” (my summary...but accurate), and DEPROGRAM them every day when they come home from school (I think she calls it “parental involvement”) - and then teach them what they thought the schools were supposed to teach that day.

I just have to wonder why parents are expected to do all that - considering that we spend something like $12,000 per student per year (if not more now). But, since that lady refuses to discuss the REAL issues in education, and instead dumps it all on the parents, we’ll never know.

You nailed it right there.

What are parents there for? To be the cash cow for the educrats to indoctrinate your kids, all without your interference from you,mexcept to fork over your hard earned but extorted money.

And God help you if you don't pay up. It's jail time for you. You lose your house to back taxes if you don't "contribute".
