<p>IMHO, we need math told more often, earlier. Problem is, imho, typical union contracts dont accomodate that. Our school district is not allowed to pay math teachers more than others. That must change. We need more math in elementary school. Right now, many elementary school teachers are math adverse.</p>
<p>Marian, I agree and thats why I had my Daughter take Spanish. </p>
<p>I am all for women’s rights, but when laws were changed that required equal treatment for women (not that it is all the way there, but still big changes from pre 71), teacher quality went downhill. Of course some are great, but no uniformly, and Ithink math got hit the hardest.</p>
