Review title: cogent and misguided
Product review: Burns is both right and wrong. She is right that a really good math teacher can teach ideas and make children like math without all of the drilling. I am sure that she herself has experienced this and perhaps taught other math teachers to do the same. But the approach assumes math teachers are more talented than most are. With less talented teachers her approach is a disaster. Students learn neither the ideas nor the basics, like the multiplication tables, that the less talented teachers could have taught. The result is high schoolers who need to count on their fingers to multiply six times seven.
