The damage was already done and it will be years of fighting at the local level and another round of transition chaos before teachers are allowed to teach the standard math sequence again.

My youngest was ruined by the "look-see-guess" type of reading in grade school. He ended up hating to read. I used to sit with him and go through the fishing magazines (the only thing he was interested in) which prevented him from being illiterate. However, it kept him from any further interest in reading, to his detriment.
