What you say.
I remember the common core math problem I tried to solve on the web
I gave up...as I saw utterly no logic in it at all.
Communist Core..doesn’t belong in America
Ask any recent high school or college graduate what happened with the National Guard and students at Kent State in the 60’s. You might be shocked.
Of course, that is ancient history.
Edible food at lunch.
that is essential... and clearly not a feature of common cored
History ...”do they still teach that”?
And going back to teaching math the way they did in the fifties.
Only politically correct US History is taught now. I asked my niece what she was learning in APUS History. She said they learned about the Native Americans and now they are learning about the 1930’s. You know, when Socialism was gaining ground in the USA? I am sickened by the indoctrination in our schools, at every level.

This is the first time in memory that an author has mentioned replacements for an unconstitutional federal program that are fully justifiable under the 10th Amendment.
Instead of saying “what is 2 + 3?” They say something like “what is an addition fact about 2 and 3?”
I work with a lot of engineers who are math wizzes, and I aced differential equations. None of us could figure any of this Common Core math. We’ve concluded that the purpose of this pretzel logic common core math is to befuddle and frustrate the students, leading them to give up, think they are too stupid, and accept being dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.
I’m somewhat relieved to find out that I’m not as math stupid as I thought I was.
I was never a math whizz...but common core seems liked medieval torture to me!
Thank you.
That’s because the old math was rule based. and if you have to follow rules you can’t be a communist. Because everyone will know when your cheating. Also it’s meant to prevent those that can excel from doing so. Al la Harrison Bergenon.
We only need one thing to make education better;
Do away with public schools.
When the new things don’t work the non belief in standardized testing can be used to support the new things.
Home school.
Massive parental involvement.
