I don’t believe in kids who can’t memorize. Math presents students with psychological barriers they don’t want to cross. It’s the teachers job to get then to cross those barriers.

They cannot memorize, but they can count.

Technically, being able to count implies one is able to memorize as counting requires knowledge of ordinality.

schools have de-emphasized memorization for many years. Learning multiplication tables disappeared from the class room long ago. However, IMO memorizing the tables sure helps in your life ahead.

This kind of begs the question, will some future nuclear scientist in order to answer the president’s question as to how bad the devastation will be, have to draw 741 nuclear incoming missiles before he can adequately explain it to the president?

CANNOT memorize math facts

The same kids who cannot memorize their multiplication tables seem to have a firm grasp on all the stats of their favorite sports stars.

The method avocates impeding the progress and potential of those who can and do memorize in order to dumb the curriculum down to the level of those who have learning disabilities . . . that kind of thinking is morally wrong and is a recipe for wrecking the foundation of this country . . . which is what they are trying to do.

I have long been an advocate of grouping by ability and performance. You cannot award self-esteem by dumbing down the curriculum so everyone succeeds. Self-esteem is acquired by legitimate progress and accomplishment. Enough leftist education garbage has been peddled by the commies who dominate that field. Time to clean house.

It doesn't matter what are the stated goals for Common Core.

The reality is CC is created by rabid Statists with the singular goal of making kids obedient citizens of the State.

This will be accomplished by destroying critical thinking skills.

So they design a curriculum for the exception and then force everyone else into it?

What a fail....

Not to be rude, but if they can not memorize they can not count.
