And back to the topic: I don’t really think that California in general is terrible at teaching math. I can tell you that my grandsons do math problems in their head when we travel places in the car. They are about at the same level I was at when I was their age, not noticeably behind and not noticeably ahead. But they love math and it gives us something to do while driving. It’s fun!
And San Marcos has a strong STEAM (Science Tech Engineering Art Math – not sure how art wiggled its way in there) program as does PUSD I believe.
Working with them and visiting their school, I can tell you I feel good about the state of our school system.
But…I do get this very odd mommy clique feeling when I stand there waiting to pick them up after school. I guess I should get over it, just a few more years and they’ll be asking me to park blocks away so they can act like they were hatched from an egg.
