Have your say on Elementary Math

There has been rumbling lately about an elementary math program called "Math Investigations." Some folks in neighboring Prince William County are trying to push their school system into repealing its use, and my favorite nay-saying blogger Elise would like to see the same effort in Loudoun. I heard a parent at a Special Education meeting dismiss it as well, so I know that discontent is out there.

Folks, here's your opportunity. LCPS is seeking parents for an elementary math evaluation committee. There are five meetings (plenty will say that they are at inconvenient times, so if that would keep you from serving then say so, maybe there's room to adjust if others feel the same way).

For what it's worth, I'll quote from an email I wrote to a parent this past weekend:

I generally start in support of LCPS decisions, as they are made with much more information, expertise and experience than I have.
