One of the districts near where I work - I tutor 1:1 - most of the teachers started passing out worksheets and skipping all of Common Core stuff. The parents are up in arms against CC - the doctors and lawyers figure if they cannot understand it, what good is it. I tell my clients in that district - ‘teach your kids math the way you learned it, when it made sense.’
Just one more case of bachelor math PhD guys with no experience with kids who cannot remember ever learning math trying to cram their esoteric ways down our throats.
I'm lost and all alone
Common Core math isn't worth the trouble
All I want is just the way it used to be...
Where one times three is three!
Oh darlin' can't you see...
Of course! It is in the best interests of the Government Indoctrination Centers to create ways of forcing children to become more dependent on them.
Please, for your kids sake, home school them or enroll them in a quality, conservative, private school.
I have a sign on our pickup for Richardson for Governor (GOP) (Oregon) and got stopped by a guy the other day as I was out putting up signs....He asked....will Richardson get rid of Common Core? YES, I told him... he said he was told by the school to go to some website so he could help his 9 year old daughter with her math....IF Richardson will get rid of it...he’s voting for HIM, he said!
This new math probably won’t produce many scientists or accountants.
Common Core math is like explaining to children how Santa Claus fits down the chimney.
Math is really simple and straightforward. Parents should not have to attend classes to learn how to overcomplicate math. Their kids will never learn the basics the way “Common Core” wants to teach math.
Will it take people as long to see through Common Core’s BS as it has to see through Obama’s?
They can't do 2 + 2....
From the article:
"In the real world, simplification is favored over complication."
Exactly.
Do test scores show that Common Core works?
Five of the 29 members of the Common Core Validation Committee (including the only mathematics expert) refused to sign a report attesting that the standards are research-based, rigorous and internationally benchmarked. The report was released with 24 signatures and included no mention that five committee members refused to sign it...
...No member of the Validation Committee had a doctorate in English literature or language and only one held a doctorate in math. He was one of only three members with extensive experience writing standards. Two of the three refused to sign off on the standards.

Parents around here are getting petitions to get the garbage out of the schools.
None of us are as dumb as all of us. Go to school to get dumber so you to can pretend to know common core.
the whole purpose is the same as the “new math” in the 60s.
It it make it so that parents can’t help the students.
Didn’t we go through this new math back in the 70s? it was a disaster then too.
This is hilarious. Keep playing the rigged game, dopes. My homeschooled kids will be ordering your kids around in a few years due simply to your “trying to make the system work.”
