Our Failed Math Textbook: for 3rd graders

My mom checked our grade's textbook online, and told me things I never knew about it . . . probably because we hadn't had fractions yet (?!?!?). And this stuff is UNBELIEVABLE! I mean, if you're in my grade you'll know what I mean. Face the facts: here is some of the ridiculous stuff in there:
1. Multiplying decimals? "Estimate" where the decimal is. (?!)
2. Adding & Subtracting fractions? There's NOTHING about common denomintators. (what?!?! But common denominators solve everything!!!) They only had PICTURES - yeah right, like someone's going to cut out perfect fractions of a circle just to solve it. This is an OUTRAGE.

Nuff said.
