Hello Jane,
How have you been? How are the kids? I am overwhelmed with work and demands at home. My daughter, who is in grade 9 now, asked me for help in math. So, I remembered some of the ways we learned this stuff. Do you remember Mrs. Smith? I'll never forget her awful sense of humour, sarcasm. I thought she was biased towards us Canadians because her little European "advanced" educational system and where she comes from. That kind of turned me off from her class.
My daughter's teacher is so nice and looks at them with no prejudice.
Regards,
Sarah
There is certainly a temptation to compare different schooling systems, and many places in the world put more emphasis on math than Canadian schools do (and also teach it faster). I know that many East Asian and Eastern European parents despair of our ways of teaching math here compared with "back home".
