Hi all, thank you to those who who found time and replied to me on Newton vs Belmont dillema. I just don't have enough time to reply to everyone. But I will. ...
Through the years, my husband, son and I have participated in various discussion groups at Cambridge Focus, 600 Memorial Drive, Cambridge. (on left when you...
Hi Gennady-- Tonight I'm going to ask my girls (grades 5 and 7): "30 is what percentage of 75?" and "What is 14 divided by 1/2?" The article said that less...
As a Belmont parent and a Newton teacher, I could not help but to respond to your post. Your generalizations and slurs against teachers in general offend me....

Hi Christine-- I just want you to know that I agree with you and not with Gennady (who sounds a bit like my crazy "conservative" Uncle Bill in Texas). We have...
This Everyday Math is a piece of ...rubbish. Just tell us how many students are sitting bored and unchallenged? Also, tell us, please, how many students have...
Wow, you really seem angry. I guess you should move back to where you grew up if it's so bad here. I mean it. If you feel very strongly that the American...

Oz, You have a valid point. Maybe I would say the same if I were you. But let me say, now I am a citizen of USA and proud of this fact. And that's why I want...
I have been educated in several different countries and know there are advantages and flaws to both the European and American systems. Be careful not to...

I generally try to let these discussions take their course. We voted to let Arlington post to this list and I've respected that wish. Should we have a vote on...
To All - I welcome the posts from folks from other communities/perspectives. That's what makes this little tool we call a "list-serv" of value. It is up to...
To All - Authors Note: Mea Culpa! When I say "partially educated" I mean to say that I attended the Belmont Schools for a portion of my education, through...
Steve/All - Regarding this topic, I'm not sure that we need to close it. I do know firsthand though how folks can get riled up about the quality of education...
Yes, please close the teacher debate. I don't see anything constructive coming out of it, and I dislike rants that provide neither substantive background nor...

My daughter just spent a year working for picture people taking (for the most part) portraits of children. She's nineteen and great with kids. She's in...
Davhal-- I'd vote for not censoring or ending ANY discussion in this group-- unless it is libelous or just plain spam (such as cialis ads or penny stock tips)....
A community resource for Belmont MassachI am glad to see the No closings are ahead in the poll. What could be better than a lively debate on education in...
I think it's healthy to keep a free and open discussion on this list, within the fairly broad parameters set by the community. I also subscribe to an early...
