It's almost like teachers have developed new ways to teach that are different but maybe a more effective way for kids to learn.

People always get so weird about newer math teaching techniques. I get that it's new and doesn't make sense to us because it's not how we learned, but the kneejerk reaction of "this is obviously worse than how I learned" without any understanding of the method or why it might teach better fundamentals is...
