Check out this video and feel your head spin like Linda Blair as you watch the teacher go into a very, very complicated and convoluted method (algorithm?) to solve the very, very simple subtraction problem 32 12 = 20. Source.

Common Core
otherwise known as
Commie Crap
Ya gotta keep them dumb if you wanna keep them under control.
they want you to feel stupid so you’ll be conditioned into asking government people for help, and dissuaded from thinking for your own
Seriously, are we intentionally confusing our children?
32-12=20
32-12
32-10 = 22 22 -2 = 20
Much easier just to line them up and subtract for cryuing out loud.... A good 99% of the population doesn't need a PHD course in abstract number theory for their career options in the future...
Why the hell are we teaching confusing "Al-Gore-Rhythms"?????
And the crap they are using are even more confusing, seriouslly it would bea esier to teach them decimal to binary conversion and do all their math in binary then convert the damnned thing back!!!!
Commie Core Math, more confusing that Binary Conversion...
Government schools are failing because they are run by affirmative action union goons. This chart shows you everything you need to know.
It's time to move to charter schools, where there is actual competition. Give the students vouchers, and let them go to school where they choose.
Because it’s impossible for anyone trained in traditional math or modern math to explain it to their own children.
The lesson isn’t math, it is that your parents are idiots, don’t listen to them.
WOW. I can’t tell you how this way of doing math is the way my buddies and I argue about the solutions to the world’s problems after consuming large amounts of beer.
.
How ya gonna keep them down on the farm, after they've seen Paree' ?
Gay Pareé?
Why are “they” making math harder? Comrade, if it was too easy, some people might become engineers or captains of industry and make positive contributions to the economy instead of going on welfare. Besides, we can’t have inequality in the classroom - somebody’s feelings would get hurt.
Gay and , apparently, ‘dumb’.
I want to see them do that with fractions.
As she says, this is what public school students are being axed to do.
Better than common core!
It would be impossible to use math this way in the real world, these kids would be non-functional even if they passed all this stuff
Well, in the case of those that came up with common core, it probably wasn’t beer, but something smoked, that was at the root of their self-determined “genius”.
