No wonder Jeb is barely a blimp in the polls
It’s a PUBLIC SCHOOL, financed and controlled by the government. If some parents feel a need to subject their kids to this punishment, I have LITTLE SYMPATHY for them.
Well, as sarcastic and cynical as I have become just to survive, this is WAY beyond any of my imagination.
Pray Hard.
Not only is it time to shut down common core, it is time to shut down many of these “colleges of education”.
What the hell do these questions have to do with math? That’s the question I would have asked even as an eighth grader. I would have of course been immediately labeled as a troublemaker and taken out by SWAT.
Good Lord, talk about over the top political indoctrination and pandering. Public schools are SICK.
Good morning, ma'am. It's nice of you to join us.
Six inner city families divided by two social workers equals how many people on welfare?Did you remember to carry the bum?
Get YOUR children out of the government indoctrination centers - NOW!!
NO EXCUSE for this. No excuse. Typically liberal and what is always on their minds. Home schooling looks better and better, but what about the students who are affected by things like this.
Future eloi — and victims of their teachers’
and goverment-sponsored pedophilia.
Slightly off topic but I never could quite figure out what Maya Angelou was talking about.
Her success baffles me.

Math is not a series of assumptions. It is an exact science. In properly formatted math, nothing needs to be assumed. If this is "Common Core Math" it needs to be eliminated.
In my first semester of Calculus, I remember to be terribly frustrated by the first statement of every example. It was: "Let x be a function of y and z." It would be followed by an equation relating x, y, and z (or what ever the variables in the statement were). I could understand each of the words in the opening sentence, but I didn't have a clue what they meant. I gave up asking the professor, because he couldn't help me understand either.
After months of frustration, it finally dawned on me that the author was simply stating the obvious: An equation relating x, y, and z could be written so it is not necessary to assume that it can be written. He then proceeded to write it. I did not need to assume anything. x was, indeed, a function of y and z.
It would equally appropriate to end each question in the test with the statement: "solve for x and y, in the form (x,y).
This may not be for real, although it wouldn’t totally shock me if it was.
...it looks like the sort of thing that get passed around by e-mail.
Gotta be culturally relevant.
Test can’t be too white.
Teaching Math In 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1970:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
Teaching Math In 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20 Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math In 2010:
A logger cuts down some beautiful forest trees because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living?
Don’t these idiots know that pimps are men and women are Madams?!
Oh, heck. A Parentlink message. All is well.
Well, they wanted to do away with “White Bias” on the tests, well, there you go.
