Read the report. Horrifying. The teacher who is the subject of the paper was convinced to use "new" techniques of teaching math. These techniques are mandated by the education code but are not explained. She ended up with a melange of old and new techniques but applied them all blindly. I finished the paper thoroughly convinced that the old fashion and technique of rote memorization and drills would be superior in almost all cases.

The saddest part of doing this to teachers is that it's students who always lose the most.
