I totally agree that, instead of debating the best way to teach math, many educationa experiments need to be performed. Perhaps none so radical that they risk leaving the students virtually without the knowledge to be conveyed. And with large enough samples that accidents of who's teaching what won't noticeable affect results. --Dan On 2012-07-31, at 9:15 AM, Eugene Salamin wrote:
I'd like to see the same principle applied to grades K-12: school A uses method A, school B uses method B, etc. But instead of making the children be guinea pigs, families get to freely choose schools. And, the selection of different methods is not dictated by the educational establishment and teachers unions.
