new math???

seskers
why are the schools teaching the"big 7" method of division when the standard division method is accurate and much much faster. Seems to me that the answer is not really the goal but it's all about how you got it. And if you can properly explain how you came up with the wrong answer to the problem then your answer is not really wrong? can anyone explain how this prepares for a college math.
