(Video)This gentleman is very angry and he uses a lot of profane and vulgar language but he has a point. He helped his young nephew do his home work, all the answers were right, but the teacher gave the kid an F grade because he did not use COMMON CORE, and it didn't matter whether he arrived at the right answers. He got an F because he didn't follow "directions" and show on paper in detail the "Common Core" process or method with right, wrong or no answers at all, (Truth ?, that is what she told the uncle when he wanted to know why the boy got an F). See for yourself.
This is why I took my kids out of public schools. I put them through private elementary then then into a charter school for their Jr High and High school.
I can’t help with my kids homework because they are doing something different than I was taught 40 years ago. I have issues teaching my college age students machine shop math because some of them dont “get” the concepts I teach. It’s difficult, and yes I k ow the common denominator is myself, but has math changed that much?
It’s not about education.
It’s about conformity.
They do not want to teach you ‘how’ to think, they want to teach you ‘what’ to think...
Some of them surreptitiously show them the traditional way to do the computation, so the kid can draw their maddening doodlegrams and get the right answers despite the System.
Florida Governor DeSantis just officially killed Common Core in all Florida schools. The Gov is doing great things in FL.
This is job security for public school teachers. If parents and private schools don’t teach like the public schools when it comes to college entrance exams the public schools will have the advantage.combating private and homeschooling the liberal way.
“He helped his young nephew do his home work, all the answers were right, but the teacher gave the kid an F grade because he did not use COMMON CORE”
Serves the kid right! If he’s not a ‘team player’, then he DESERVES the punishment.
(admit it, how many of you out there are just fine with your kids or grandkids going to government schools, because their schools have good ratings, therefore nothing to worry about)
Indeed. Our children went to Catholic Schools until HS and then we put them in a private non-religion-related school for HS.
Our youngest is graduating from his university with dual majors in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. And, taking PE study courses for the test in March.
He has earned money by tutoring classmates in math who were all public school grads.
We sacrificed a lot for years to provide them this benefit.
“Florida Governor DeSantis just officially killed Common Core in all Florida schools. The Gov is doing great things in FL.”
Here in Texas, we were MUCH SMARTER. We told the Common Core bunch to go to Hell, at the state level!!! (and then looked the other way at the local level)
Ping.
Parents can yell at teachers all they want but the teacher’s paychecks are not dependent on them. Teachers serve at the whim of the state . The people who actually pay are slaves to the system. It’s like shopping in Soviet run stores . I’m surprised the outcome is not even worse than it is.
when are you gonna admit your a communist?
So the short version is the kid cheated by getting his uncle to do the homework, resulting in an F? And the uncle didn’t bother to read the instructions or was unable to follow them?
And now the male Karen wants to talk to the teacher’s supervisor?
Belongs on Reddit.
“when are you gonna admit your a communist?”
I’m thinking a week from Wednesday, but then again, that was my planned day to panic about Coronavirus.
So, not sure yet.
I’m a reasonably bright guy, business owner, lots of social friends, and can fix or repair just about anything. Had a girlfriend who taught 3rd grade here in California. She showed me this Common Core Math crap, explained it over and over to me, and I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I just could not grasp the concepts she was explaining. Her little 3rd graders would cry because they didn’t get it either. The parents were irate and couldn’t help little Johnny either, because they didn’t get it. Now, in this school neighborhood most of these parents are JPL and NASA employees. She ultimately told these parents to teach little Johnny the “normal” way to do math, encouraged them to tell their kids to “try” the CC crap. There was nothing she could do as it was “district policy”. She refused to resign her teaching position and move to a private school because she didn’t want to give up her $120,000 per year job (9 months work) and the lifetime pension. What a clusterf**k!
If NASA had used common core, we’d still be trying to get to the moon.
My dad was upset when we were taught “New Math” back in the 1960’s. It took a year or so to unteach us afterwards. Math finally and totally clicked with me when I took Calculus in high school.
