I did not criticize this particular reform math. I was merely pointing out the possible indirect economic consequences of parents objecting to it.
I have not reviewed the "Investigations" curriculum, so I can not, in all honesty give it any type of approval or disapproval. Who knows, perhaps I might like it, or perhaps like parts of it.
Both myself and many of my colleagues have reviewed the Core-Plus high school level reform curriculum and we found it to be lacking a logical structure needed to allow students to receive clear instruction.
I am a bit surprised at how you seem to "politicize" this whole reform issue. My college professors I had while pursuing my Master's Degree in Applied Mathematics at the University of Minnesota were anything but the "GWB right wingers" you seem to label any traditionalists as. Yet they delivered clear and organized mathematics instruction. And their delivery method and curriculum choice is something I would want to emulate as an instructor of mathematics myself.
