Concerned Parents of Reading (CPR), Massachusetts was formed by a group of parents with concerns regarding the use of the University of Chicago School Math Program (UCSMP) in the Reading Elementary School (K-6), as of 1998. The program seems to lack balance. Computational Skills are downgraded, testing is deemed irrelevant and students seem to spend excessive time writing about but not practicing mathematics. We have included a list of letters we have sent to Reading's School Committee and Educators. Please see our bulletin "Suggestions from Concerned Parents of Reading" If you have noticed similiar symptoms in your child please call members of the CPR's steering committee and discuss your concerns with friends and neighbors and call school committee members. Publication #4 has the names and numbers of some of the CPR's steering committee, please feel free to call
