<p>If math harkness way is such good to help kids, why no other bs will use this method ?
Some kids are just not good to solve a problem without giving a hint or been taught definition/theory/samples first.
Put this way, doing 12 math problems as homework before you learn the new sunject will be instroduced could be double/triple time that you learn the new subject from teacher first. Some time conventional way do give kids a systematic approach for each math subject. I am not saying “conventional” way is better than math harkness way. but I just think kids need to have extra efforts to “fit” into this reverse thinking. This probably just what Exeter want their students to have this skill. It actually a good thing.</p>
<p>However, This is also probably why CCers either love Exeter or hate it.</p>
<p>just my two cents.</p>
