Well , we finally recieved our hardcopies of the CPU in the mail , and having poured thru all 2 inches of this 81/2x11 coma-inducing tome I don't feel any better.
The Air Sea and Army CPUs are virtually identical - and as best I can tell the Army got the worst of it.
It's completely unteachable without heavy additions, which we will have to do. (and are already planning)
My disappointment is it aims far too low... yes this is for 12/13 year olds but the coin exercises are straight out of a grade 3/4 curriculum.
Its just not engaging... yes there is a luke warm orienteering section (common curiculum Air/Sea/land) and a diluted winter living section , but beyond that - little I would be proud of.
I then went off to Cadetworld to see if any insights were available there... not so much. seems like the fight has gone out of the CIC and everyone is accepting shoddy workmanship as "good".
Maybe there is a silver lining in not having any testing - we can "enhance" this at the local level any way we want.
