Here, my friend, a grade one teacher (6yr olds) is teaching them fractions, geometry and grammar. Most know what 1/2 a cookie is, but can't get their head around what "fraction" of a cookie they get when it's broken into two equal parts. They have trouble with triangular and hexagonal cubes. Not any wonder, since most can't read "see Jane and Jack chase Spot up the hill" or whatever it's current equivalent is. Never mind that in her school, english is a second language for most and a lot of these kids miss weeks at a time when their parents take them back to their country of origin for a two month "holiday" during the school year. I also wonder what idiot(s) are in charge of determining the curriculum. Since her school is low in the grade 3 provincial scores, she's now supposed to teach 2 hours of math to them per day! And then they wonder why our kids don't compare to places like Japan, Germany, Switzerland etc. And she has 20 kids and says "that's a lot". Maybe, given the circumstances. Yet, how did previous generations get so far? All my classes where 30+ students and many of us only learned english once we started school and without any special language education. Same with those generations before. Just makes you shake your head. Heck, preschool, kindergarden, elementary school, middle school, high school, university, ba, ma, phd ----- more and more education, it seems we're getting so smart it's making us stupid. MK
