Two quotes currently on the favorites board in our kitchen:
"It's not like when I grow up and buy a house, I'm going to pay them in Base 10 blocks!"
- A third grader in Tiffany's class frustrated by her emphasis on concept over speed or procedure. Feeling bogged down by the use of Base 10 blocks during a multiplication lesson, he made his case against them (rather convincingly, if you ask me).
***
"Where's the yelling?"
- A dad at spring parent-teacher conferences after Tiff showed him his daughter's most recent writing assignment, a flowery description of her family's morning routine before coming to school. Apparently, she left out a few details.
