Excellent points.
The fact that students learning Common Core are to be graded based on their adherence to an illogical “process” rather than graded based on the accuracy of the results they obtain proves — to me — that CC is a poor tool for use in the real world.
If anything, CC resembles the precise recitation of a magic spell.
Who could have guessed that “progress” in education would lead us back into “superstition”?
