Like the liberals love to say, “Kids don’t need to learn math. They have “smart” phones”. LOL.
All part of the plan. The next generation will have even less of an understanding of the fiscal mess that is created by Socialism and open borders. And will be even more receptive to demagogic calls for “the rich” to pay for it all.
So Common Core is doing it’s job, what’s the issue? /s/
Did they use common core math or old math to figure that out?
says that the math part of the Common Core standards is actually insufficient, leaving American students two years behind their peers in most high-achieving countries by the end of the seventh grade.
states had to get their university systems to agree to not remediate students who passed Common Core exams.
Isn’t that sweet, but seriously folks. If we actually taught these kids how to count, do you think any of them would bury themselves in student loan debt to get that fancy degree in lesbian dance theory? What about the perpetual debt we have enslaved them with, all to pay for our wants today?
We need these people that can’t count to keep the charade going.
Do they still teach Math? When do they have time, when they are mandated to teach Queer History, Transgender Sex Ed, Social Justice Engineering etc.?
The purpose of common core math was to raise a generation which would pay seventy-five dollars for a plastic guacamole bowl.
Please clap.
This is why socialists and communists have the least educated and least productive work forces. They are all about party indoctrination not education. The last thing they want is an educated population that can think for themselves.
“By 2014, California was the top state in the nation in eighth-grade algebra enrollment. That was the year Common Core went into place. It erased all those gains almost immediately.”
I know, I know, I hear it all the time (my comments in parentheses):
(1) “I don’t have the money to provide for my children’s education (and still maintain my lifestyle), so I’m going to use the ‘free’ education provided by the government schools.”
(2) “I paid PROPERTY TAXES, so I sure as hell intend to get ‘my money’s worth’ (regardless of what that means for my kids’ futures).”
(3) “It’s only THOSE SCHOOLS that suck - the schools that my children go to are just ‘wonderful’. Heck, I even met Johnie’s teacher at Walmart the other day. (therefore she’s ‘human’, just like you and me)”
(4) “Yea, I know those government schools are not the best, but they can’t pull anything over on me - I watch them LIKE A HAWK, never missed a PTA Meeting - so take that BobL (actually, unless there’s a webcam available to you in the classroom, they can do whatever they want with your kids - and you’ll only know what they choose to tell you)”
Hipsters ruin everything...including the soil!
That was the goal of common core; the creator of that monstrosity said so himself.
Have at it!!!
Want an eye-opener?
Go volunteer to tutor.
They cannot do simple math, algebra challenged, no cursive handwriting, reading challenged. This will not end well.
And these are the same people teaching your kids to sexually experiment and “be safe”.
They also teach Howard Zinn’s revisionist history.
America is screwed.
I have seen some of that ‘Common Core’ math crap.
It’s absolutely the stupidest stuff you ever saw.
Kids will be completely math clueless as adults.
Which is what it’s for......................
