Son is in second grade and having to deal with this bullshite.
Apparently next year they teach them like 8 different frickin ways to multiply. I want to pull my hair out with looking at this shite sometimes.
This is the first year they're doing it in my kid district. All the kids have 60s and 70s in math.

Would you rather your child not understand why 6x4 is 24, and instead just memorize it? How will that serve as a good base when your child needs to solve 354x286? Some of the complaints here are just asinine.

It's not 8 different ways, but rather, a progression to truly understand the logic of multiplication.
