Real math on the sly...

Shhhhhh,

My 7th graders math teacher brought out some antique math text books from 1991 to supplement the assigned, district bought, "new integrated math" text books.

My 7th grader was told that they would be using the old school textbook most of the time.

The books are on the their last legs (16 years of abuse), but they are light years better than the new books.

It's a good thing they're keeping in quiet. We wouldn't want their bosses to find out that they're actually teaching, you know.

Hmm...sounds like a story I'm familiar with. Good for this teacher.
