Now they should drop the entire Common Core debacle all together and go back to phonics and standard math.
All the school districts have spent a fortune buying new textbooks based on common core. It’s not so different when dealing with Algebra or Trig, but it’s in the elementary, and in the humanities, arts, and social sciences that it asks for nutso math methods or re-writes truth.
I think those books will be with us for an entire text cycle. Depending on the wealth of the district that’s anything from 5 to 10 years.
Thank you. Standard math with an emphasis on word problems, which is what CC math tried to sell itself as, but than added all sorts of weird and inefficient computational techniques.
