The middle school teachers all complained that the kids weren't being taught math. It was absolutely awful and now we have a huge group of kids who never learned basic math facts (unless they had teachers who supplemented with basic facts like some teachers at my school.) We now use Saxon and the amount of math that the kids now know is astonishing. I'm so thankful to have materials that help us teach real math!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
