2. Suzy is making punch for a party, one glass per person. The ingredients include 500mL of orange juice, 500mL of cranberry juice, 100mL of grenadine, 75mL of something else and 2L of gingerale. How many people are coming to the party?
Answer: None! Everybody knows Suzy has atrocious taste in drinks.
In all seriousness, I think you're right that these sorts of garbage curricula are disenfranchising young students and leading to a higher level of functional innumeracy. DS is 3 and could potentially enter kindergarten next year. My personal response to the shockingly bad level and pace of instruction locally is to homeschool next year, then launch a private school in time for DS' entry to grade 1.
Welcome to posting! Hope you'll be a regular!
