Go, DeSantis!

Free at last! That was the latest stupid but expensive boondoggle foisted on the know-nothing administrators in our schools. Now maybe we can go back to students memorizing the multiplication table instead of drawing pictures to figure out 7X9.

“instead of drawing pictures to figure out 7X9.”
the invention of the last assholes from the previous regime to turn our kids into morons. This was how Buttcrack obama learned his multiplication while being “taken care” of the probably the only tranny mooslum in Indonesia...

DeSantis rocks. Google the 3 young conservatives he just put on the Florida Supreme Court for literally the next 35 years. He also sent a bad ass to Broward County as the new elections supervisor to stop the corruption.

In Texas, under Rick Perry, we never adopted Common Core, so there, TEXAS IS GREAT!!!
(I won’t bother mentioning that we let the public school establishment impose virtually the same thing as Common Core, while we were looking the other way)

From what I had heard about it, I thought there were a lot of good things about Common Core math. For instance it encouraged students to understand what was going on in solving certain kinds of problems rather than just blindly following a recipe. I have multiple degrees in math.
As for the multiplication table, of course ultimately students need to know it cold, without having to think. But it doesn't hurt to also understand it in more depth by drawing some pictures. Students do also need to learn to think and not just memorize.

If you were a student in the LA Public school system, they automatically pass you and hand over your diploma.

To: BlackFemaleArmyColonel
A start, maybe more states will do this as well. Problem is it will take a dozen years to affect a change like this.

Nice. Kill it and prosecute its authors for crimes against humanity...
The math agenda was creative — which I appreciated in a sick way — but it was ultimately destructive in its disregard of the critical foundation that built our technical world.
