From Arthur Hu Reviews 6th Grade Connected Math Oct 2003:
Subject: USELESS HOMEWORK, AND IT DOESN'T EVEN TEACH HOW TO DO !@#$% AVERAGE
I am shocked to realize that ... "Connected Mathematics" is just as harmful for middle school as "Investigations" is for elementary school. It carries on the tradition of nightly homework that is a) hard to figure out b) takes forever to do once you figure it out c) after you're done you haven't learned any useful math d) it goes out of the way to make sure the #1 most important method to know is not taught, or allowed.
The whole theme of ed reform seems to be "work harder and learn less."
Ayup.
