Subject: Re: Accelerated math - major flaws

I have not seen connected math, but I somewhat disagree with your
comment.  I think it is very important for children to learn the basic
skills of math and work at their own pace, with some push from a
teacher.  I think too many students are given critical thinking
problems and can't even do the simple steps of division to solve it. 
I truly believe that ANY program will need teacher intervention for it
to work on all levels.  If a program could do it all, we would be out
of jobs.
