No, I thought that if you could mobilize them to use the flashcards, why not mobilize them to get the curriculum changed?
Also, if the schools recognize the problem, why are they not pushing for a better curriculum?
Lastly, why are those who are doing the mobilizing not interested in changing the curriculum?
I only ask because EM is a perfect way to keep the underprivileged down, IMO, and if I wanted to improve the odds for such kids, my first step would be to get rid of this math curriculum. Btw, I consider it such exactly because the kids have little hope of learning their math facts unless they have pro-active parents.
I think colleges are like romantic life partners - any of a number of them can make you happy, but all potential choices must meet certain minimum criteria to be considered in the first place.
I don't think that's universal. My MIL got her masters from University of Phoenix and she is the controller for one of the largest construction companies in my state.
<> I see a lot of romanticizing about how it "used to be" in education, back when "everyone" could get a good education without any parent involvement.

Yea, but I kinda do as well....at least in the sense that they aren't taking classes and flunking out of them on a regular basis.

Why do you assume they are mutually exclusive?

That's part of the good fit for what they choose to study.
How about them feeling comfortable in their surroundings?

I agree.
