Another Reason Why Integrated Curriculum Doesn't Work

This is simply outrageous. Don't the teachers even READ worksheets before handing them out?

Both fathers said they contacted the principal of Beaver Ridge Elementary school in Norcross. They wanted to know what the third-grade math teachers were thinking.

Kavanaugh brought that question to Gwinnett County School District officials.

"In this one, the teachers were trying to do a cross-curricular activity," district spokeswoman Sloan Roach said.

Roach explained the teachers were trying to incorporate social studies lessons into the math problems, which is something the school district encourages. But the problem with the questions is there is no historical context.

Math, like science, shouldn't be integrated into social studies curriculum. What jackasses.
