It does seem a shame to have math taught by people who think it's something to get through. And her point about what a good teacher can do with "Everyday Math" hit home, too.
Maybe the problem is not the "Everyday Math" curriculum, but is the fact that too many elementary ed teachers hate math.

I stumbled across this free math course from Annenberg Media for high school teachers and adult learners, and I fell in love. It looks incredibly interesting to me, so I thought I'd share. I plan to use it myself this summer to learn more about the history of math and how to think math instead of "plugging and chugging," and then hopefully next year I can teach DS6 from what I've learned. http://www.learner.org/channel/courses/mathilluminated/about/

Glad you like it.  I'm still exploring the rest of the Annenberg site, but it seems like loads of good stuff!
