You think schools in this country are interested in traditional education?????? Their mission is thought control to the hard left, complete indoctrination on socialism, math and English be damned.
If we move aside Leftist pretensions of ‘scientifically enlightened” and neutrality (secular) we’ll discover that occult pantheism has been there all along. Within the worldview of occult pantheism, individual thought is simply not allowed as the energy field worshipped as reality does not think. Therefore, only gnostic mystics can know anything about the energy field via transcendental meditation, yoga, brain drugs, and other ways of shutting down and emptying the mind. The now deceased Robert Mueller was the father of Common Core. An occult pantheist, he grounded Common Core in Helena Blavatsky’s Luciferian Theosophy.
“You think schools in this country are interested in traditional education?????? Their mission is thought control...”
Truth is, most schools and teachers are muddling by, captive to the latest educational fad to be shoved down their throats. Math by far seems to suffer from this. Forty years ago I was teaching 4th & 5th graders “modern math” where the little tykes were expected to make their own discoveries in how math operated. God forbid you made them memorize their times tables.
Today common core math teaches techniques that to my eye makes math more confusing rather than less and results in 8th grade students who either rely on their fingers or a calculator to solve 3 digit addition problems.
