Not surprised that Asian students are still increasing their test scores, despite Common Core’s best efforts. Has anyone at the NEA actually seen a Common Core math book? It makes things like multiplying a 3 digit number by a 1 digit number WAY more complicated than it needs to be.

I have a 10 year old and I am dealing with it now. I help him get past it by making him do a lot of “rote math” (the stuff all the geniuses sneer at) and it makes the incomprehensible world-salad spaghetti-logic explanations easier to deal with. You have to stay ahead of whatever “lessons” they are “teaching” in common core math to make common core math easier to get through.
It’s unbelievably stupid.
Unbelievably unbelievably stupid.
