[quote=all][quote=flu]Out of curiosity…I am sort of curious what percentage of the people that like ccm are STEM degreed/career oriented people.[/quote]
I like the fact that common core is not 100% focused on making sure that 12 year old child can multiply one digit numbers. Imagine where your kid would be if all she had to do is meet pre-ccm standard of good enough?[/quote]
I don’t think there are any amount of standards that are going to help if the kid has no interest in math and/or has no discipline to practice math even if he/she doesn’t want to. I don’t think ccm is really going to make a difference to the kids that are already mathematically inclined or for the kids that have parents that care enough about their math skills, since “old” math seemed to have worked just fine for kids in those categories. And I don’t know what it will do for the other kids that have no interest in math and/or are not mathematically inclined.
