Who's to say your kid didn't cheat? Showing your work is part of pretty much any math test, are you seriously arguing this?

I'm still having difficulty wrapping my head around how your second grader is doing double digit multiplication in his head, but isn't expected to read words of 5 letters or greater.
Got to be honest...mine is doing the exact opposite. They have not yet reached basic multiplication in math class, but he can certainly read the word multiplication.
Did you write that incorrectly earlier?

Problem is, the correct answer isn't what is being tested. It's the understanding of a concept that is being tested gauged by ability to perform operations and follow instructions. I agree that they're stupid. But given the system we work in, it's necessary. With a private tutor or home education, it would make very much sense that he not be required to show his work once understanding was determined by the teacher to have been achieved. But on a 20-30-student per teacher level, I don't see that as possible. The ones who get it early remain annoyed. The ones who get it late held them up but eventually catch up. I can't say that it's not a good system. Bringing the bottom of education up (grade school level) is probably worth more of our teacher'a time and tax dollars than nurturing the top.
