Everyday Math warning

I want to warn West York Area School District parents and taxpayers about a new math program being implemented in West York elementary schools. It is called 'Everyday Math'. Many school districts have tried and discarded this way of teaching math to children because it is needlessly complicated and does not work. West York, however, has already purchased math books at a considerable cost.

Because it would take so long to explain the new method, I am including a website for you to visit. Be sure to scroll down and click on the YouTube video demonstration. After you see this, I am sure you will understand my cause for alarm. Please share this article and website with as many parents as you can. The teachers will not have a say in what method they are told to use, but you do have a say. Speak up now.
