On a recent homework assignment my daughter was having trouble with her seventh grade Common Core math. They are not allowed to take their books home, so parents have to learn from the study sheets and their examples that went something like this:
Solve the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 314 using PI (3.14).
In the same assignment:
What is the C of a CD with a D of 3.5 inch?
That’s a stabbin’!
Must be cold where you are, b/c, where it gets very cold, pi is only equal to 3.
As you may know, everything shrinks in the cold.
Even pi.
Why can’t you demand to see their books? Hiding text books from parents, who as taxpayers, paid for, is wrong.
Send a note to the teacher asking to have your daughter bring home her books for your perusal. If the teacher declines, then escalate.
Make an issue of it.
