今天忙得要死，手机提示邮件到。一看，数学老师发的，说儿子作业又没做完（minimal and incomplete)，要重做。我一看火大，明明他爸爸检查过的，转给老公。

下午得空再查邮件，哇噻，老公居然洋洋洒洒回了一大篇。我这小心脏就有点不行了。这是要跟老师对着干吗？儿子聪明，数学很好，心算快，我以前老实交代过都是老公的基因在起作用。我看老公那架式，是不能容忍别人的愚昧和对他正确性的挑战。而我觉得把老师糊弄过去就行了，你聪明你自己的，岂不皆大欢喜？老公文如下：

First I will check with my son to see what need to be done. Second, I want to give my opinion on this. Math is about finding simplest and smartest way to solve the problem. If I can solve the problem in 1 simple step, why need to go through 6, 7 steps to solve the problem.

While there is truth to what you say about efficiency, this is a specific task that relates to writing and talking about math . If you look at the Math Standards in the XX Common Core (which comes from a National Common Core), there is much that is expected of children this way. Further, many of these are Open Response problems where children are explicitly asked to explain their thinking. Finally, I have shown the kids how to do this and it thus requires some flexibility and ability to follow directions.

It is true that you need to explain how you get the results, but we should not tell them which way is right way to get result and which way is the wrong way. There is only right answer and wrong answer. There is no right way or wrong way to get right answer. For example, last week’s problem, you asked him to predict what is the answer. My son knows exactly what is the answer by calculating the number, he already knows what is the answer, why need the prediction, which confuse him tremendously. He has to pretend he did not know the answer and fake the prediction. And without the prediction, you think the homework is unfinished. The whole thing just does not make sense.

We want kids to be creative, which means think differently and found the different ways to solve the problem. When kid found the different way to solve the problem, we should encourage them, not to ask everyone to follow the same path. Without thinking differently, the science and technology are not going the advance.

This indeed furthers thinking in your own unique way and explaining it. I am not looking for a pat answer, in fact the opposite is true. We are going to ask kids to be able to work collaboratively in some fields in the future, and we need to build the metacognitive abilities that it takes to explain your work and thinking for this purpose - as well as the purpose of understanding your process if working alone.

I do not understand what partial answer mean here, you still answer kids to follow the exactly way you think is the right way to get answer. If he missed 1 step, you think is the partial answer. I do not think that is how math works. There are many path to the answer, we should encourage kids to find simplest and most creative way to get the answer. We should not ask all kids to follow the same way to solve the problem.

我承认我头发长见识短，我担心儿子会穿小鞋，他本来就不是乖乖听话很讨老师欢心的。我知道这里有很多大拿，很多非常在乎教育的优秀父亲。自古以来，老婆是别人的好，儿子是自己的好，我理解！他要给儿子出头。

是我多余担心吗？
