OK. When that happens, I'll post about it here. Ditto with the Koran study.
Perhaps I am naive, but your picture doesn't ring true to me, not least because the parents I know -- lefties and righties alike -- want their kids to learn the right answers, and not just to have good self-esteem. Maybe other board parents could chime in?

brief flirtation with "creative spelling" in early elemnetary school, but most math seems to be tied to traditional answers- although at one point around 3rd grade they learned "standard configurations" which led into, I think, multiplication problems.
I had the odd experience of having passed differential equations in college, but not being able to help my kid with 3rd grade math.
