anyone else think this was about Jenny McCarthy?
I agree with Mike Johnson, it's an alternate way of looking at mathematics. Arithmetic, really. But where I diverge is over the issue with Common Core instructional methods that allow zero variation. The kids do *not* learn both methods, as they only have time for one. Time is and has always been an issue, but it is even more so now where the structure is pre-ordained and individual teachers have little room to teach using their own talents.
