Exactly. Even math teachers don't understand this Common Core math.
How can they teach ANYONE, black, white or Asian how to do this?
I'm fairly math savvy, and even I don't get what they are doing with Common Core.
First you learn basic math, and grasp it entirely.
AFTER that, you can teach folks how to work with "friendly numbers", etc.
Accountants do this all the time.
But they know the basics first. Then they learn "shortcuts".
Our illustrious elites need to keep us sheeple stupid - and unaware of the elites’ role in history. Being able to determine the cirriculum of schools is just the ticket for elites wishing to produce adult sheeple in the mold they desire.
The first large effort to control schools in America via “helping” with a “foundation” was undertaken by George Peabody. He funded his foundation with what were essentially pretty junky bonds.
Peabody’s protoge and partner was JP Morgan’s father Junius.
From wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peabody_Education_Fund
“Founded of necessity due to damage caused largely by the American Civil War, the Peabody Education Fund was established by George Peabody in 1867 for the purpose of promoting “intellectual, moral, and industrial education in the most destitute portion of the Southern States.” The gift of foundation consisted of securities to the value of $2,100,000, of which $1,100,000 were in Mississippi State bonds, afterward repudiated. In 1869 an additional $1,000,000 was given by Mr. Peabody, with $384,000 of Florida funds, also repudiated later.”
re: This will hurt minorities 50 times worse IMO than the whites they were targeting.
When this year’s testing results are revealed, I predict it will be devastating.
When a curriculum is rewritten and made so complicated that even highly educated parents can’t easily figure out how to help their children do their homework, the schools have lost a valuable resource for their students.
These people are obsessed with eliminating Whitey, after taking all his money.
White kids are more likely to have parents at home, and those parents are more likely to be educated. This means that a fair amount of afterschooling will occur and the white kids will learn thier math skills, and the black kids will still be math deficient.
Common Core = Ebonics.
The conceit of the “white privilege” supporters asserts that without this “white privilege” that every white person has, all non-whites would be at the same economic level as whites. Which leads to the question: why are Asians on average doing better economically than all these nasty, racist, white people who are oppressing them...according the WPers?
You are using logic. That’s not allowed in the “Wonderland” of Leftists.
You can't fix that.
You can level the playing field, however, by using government schools to intellectually lobotomize non-blacks.
Sounds racist to me too...
