Parents that are used to having students learn directly from their textbook or to take notes as the teacher demonstrates their mastery of math subjects and then repeat the process with a different set of values, need to be open to the idea of how students are to be taught today is different from the way they had been taught. Parents who push-back for an agenda for a teacher to provide their student with things to memorize and repeat - are doing both their student and the student's teacher a disservice. Informed parents are a great asset to teachers who are making this shift in how mathematics is experienced. As classroom move from being teacher-centered to student-centered parents will be a tremendous asset for helping students to be more active and accountable in their own learning.
