First of all, why does this approach to teaching arithmetic and mathematics make sense to any experienced educator? Secondly, what have they got against arithmetic and mathematics?

That's easy. They don't like arithmetic and mathematics because they require objectively correct answers. In the liberal mind, NOTHING is objectively correct.

I've been asking about this stupid "Common Core" ever since I heard about it. Not one teacher can tell me what it is and what makes it so good as they promote it.
I always ask them, "Doesn't the name of it tell you something? Doesn't it sound Communistic to you?" They just stare at me. I doubt I'll be teaching it, especially if it praises wrong answers.

It’s because of math that there is resistance to debts and deficits.
