And I also heard that public schools are doing away with late marks! What is that teaching our children? And what are parents supposed to do to raise our children to make up for what schools used to and now are not when or children are at school the majority of the time?

Focus on problem solving and allow multiple ways of doing that rather than just one strict way. After all, math equations could be solved by multiple ways that lead to same answer.

There needs to be a system in place that teachers, parents and students understand and can flourish with. Our experience with the present program has been that our daughter, who used to love math now feels she isn't capable in all areas and therefore math isn't her strength. This is not what any parent (or teacher) wants their child/student to feel.
