Roger that-

I just read the article in the local base paper.

Her "math teacher" [sic] was amazed because he said you can subrtract the
fractions in only 5 steps, instead of 7 like he has been teaching.

What about doing it in three steps like they used to teach?!?!?!?!?!?!

Convert to LCD, subtract, convert back?

Apparently with the "new math" you have to break each term up into common
units, subtract each one separately, convert back, then add together,
combine, etc. . . .

Ok, so she did the fraction subtraction, then borrowed from the ones
place, rather than the other way around.
