Math was never my strong suit. The old fashion methods utilizing
carrying, borrowing & other outdated methods such as long division are the only way I can solve problems. I must do it on paper.

The common core method of solving a simple subtraction problem makes no sense. I cannot even grasp the concept behind the method. It adds unnecessary clutter to my brain.

My God, I doubt I would ever make anything above a D if I had to learn that crap.

the idea of common core is to get you to give up and accept whatever occupation the ‘school’ tells you, you are suited for.

Oh, it’s simple...
A-b=c
A-c+b=d
and if you add in white privilege it comes to F.
