Topic	It's been a while. How do you feel about common core math?
adjl 11/04/23 12:10:34 PM #21:	ReturnOfFa posted... I think it'd be great if they continued reviewing basic math up through highschool for 15-20 minutes. It's easy to forget and just needs a little maintenance. A lot of young people struggle with higher math, but could really benefit from keeping their basics solid. Math is in a weird place in education. Far, far too few teachers recognize and explain its value as effectively running laps for your brain, which in turn leads to many students (especially those who don't inherently "get it") viewing it as pointless. Because of that, it's pretty common to just accept that some kids "aren't good at math" and letting them stagnate on the basics because the value of being able to learn and practice higher stuff isn't appreciated. In practice, though, almost everyone can learn basic math well enough to be able to practice the higher stuff, it just takes a different approach. --- This is my signature.
