  About 50 parents came to Luxmanor Elementary School in Rockville last week to hear a talk by Martha Schwartz , a math and science teacher and co-founder of Mathematically Correct , a grass-roots group that successfully lobbied for higher math standards in California.
  
  Schwartz presented a series of slides showing state test scores rising for both rich and poor students since California adopted new math standards in 1998.
  
  She criticized the state for what she sees as an overly hands-on approach to teaching science that has students blowing bubbles and flying paper airplanes to deduce scientific principles.Science is very non-intuitive , she said.You don't figure it out by throwing a paper airplane..
  
  Other countries realize the value of schools focusing on content over process , Schwartz asserted.You can be as poor as dirt in India and , if you go to school , you learn , she said.You know why.Because in India , they teach.They don't facilitate..
  
  The message resonated with parents from the local Gifted and Talented Association , which sponsored the forum.The GTA says Montgomery County's school system is proposing a kindergarten-through-grade eight curriculum revision that dumbs down education -- a charge that school administrators deny.
