“1+1= what?”
“Uh...2?”
“Correct! You pass this time!”
I taught high school math many years ago. I found the majority of students coming into high school hate math. The HS math teachers must not only teach math principles and operations, but un-teach them the many bad attitudes and concepts they learned in elementary school. They come to you hating math because their previous teachers hated math.IMO

So a college educated teacher can’t do high school algebra? I loved the statement that if they didn’t get rid of this test the good teachers would go to adjacent States. If those that can’t pass this test are the “good” teachers, I’d hate to see the bad ones.
I’ve heard rumors that the practice tests and study guides bear no resemblance to the actual test and that the publishing company is making bank on all the tests and re-tests.
1) The judge give a dude 20 years for selling smack, with 10 suspended. How much time do the dude have to serve?
2) Alreatha have 100 food stamps. She steal 15 more from Violina and send 10 to Florida. How many food stamps do Alreatha have?
3) Braxton have been in an automobile accident. He get lawyer Smith to settle the case for $9,000.00. Lawyer Smith's fee be one-third. How much have lawyer Smith rip Braxton off for?
a couple times of year, I help proctor tests at our local community college. Usually for HVAC stuff. Around 2010, they had to change the whole testing room around, instead of normal walls, they went to all glass walls, and put the chair/desks about 10 feet apart from one another. They installed lockers, whereby you put ALL your stuff in the locker, and you get a key. You can take nothing in the room with you. We supply the pencil for the test.
Why was this done? The teaching exams. They were the worst offenders of cheating. Over the top cheating. Blatant cheating. Usually on their cell phones.
A friend of mine proctors those tests, and he told me that the first two years of doing this, the people taking the test would rant and rave and actually throw things around the registration area (I hate to say this... but he said it was always black women), screaming, threatening lawyers, whatever, but making a scene, so they had to then have security there on those teacher accreditation testing days. He said they would eventually just leave, they wouldn’t even bother to take the test (they would just go take it somewhere else I reckon).
He said it doesn’t happen too much anymore, as the teachers know the routine, and they know what to expect when they get there.
bttt
Ohh yeh the Common Core math. Makes no sense. Asks no questions you’ll ever need to calculate. Guaranteed to flummox the students - AND the teachers. AND the parents. “Let’s make sure it is used nation-wide” say the ... commies??
