		<description><![CDATA[The question that I had after reading the WP article is: What about the kids whose parents&#039; math skills aren&#039;t as strong as an engineer&#039;s? If they can afford it, there&#039;s always Kumon or online courses such as Johns Hopkins&#039; CTY. But what about families who don&#039;t have that kind of cash?

The children who will be most hurt by the &quot;fuzzy math&quot; program are those whose parents are less educated and less affluent (who are also disproportionately African-American or Latino). These families also have less ability to simply move to a town with better schools, enroll their kids in a private school, or homeschool. You are absolutely right in saying that we need true school choice for *ALL* families, not just the wealthy!]]></description>
