If you are going to change a fundamental core education standard, why not implement a bottom up strategy. Implemented at pre-k or kindergarten level only right now and over the course of the next 20 years it will be fully implemented. This not only helps kids but the adults at home to learn the new standard. I cannot help then kids at home if I don't know this math anymore than they do. It just boggles me that they implement this but do not account for the fact higher grades cannot relearn it affectively.
