Get rid of the “stupid” math teaching in schools and go back to the old way of teaching math. Not only is the new way ridiculous and dumbed down, but parents don’t understand it and can’t help their kids with homework without learning this “new way” to do math. I think we need to challenge our kids in school more. Homeschooling shouldn’t produce such a better education than public schooling.

Agree. I teach high school math, and our freshmen are now arriving having NO MATH FACTS MEMORIZED. They can’t think their way through problems and are testing at approximately a 3rd grade level.
