Yeah Ontario not-math curriculum.

DD7 has just been diagnosed with dyslexia; we're working on the IEP with her school. In the meantime....

Looking over last week's corrected math homework (word problems whose solution is to add up a bunch of multi-digit numbers), each question has two notes from her teacher: "Need to explain what you did at each step", and "Need to give answer in a full sentence."

Hmmm... do ya think they get it?
