The Florida ballot is designed to screw us -- again

61. Hello nenagh! Tough question.

All I can say about the math that she teaches which is grades 9-12 is that it is so difficult that I can't help grade the papers unless it's multiple choice or something like basic math that I do know. I feel so sorry for the students who really try. They are having to do something like you are talking about, I think. She just graded a ton of papers that have to have writing assignments along with the math.

She said that they are wanting kids to do something almost like a city planner would do. Knowing how much a certain amount of money, say a budget, should be allocated to what departments to keep a city going. They want math in action. It sounds great. But, these kids don't have the foundation for this or even doing fractions.

Sorry, I'm half asleep. Plus, her job and what she teaches is so far above my brain capacity, that I can't do a good job of information sharing right now.zzzzz Really sleepy.
