Common Core is one big joke, except that our children are being taught its impossible precepts. Example: A child informed his teacher in matter-of-fact fashion that “you cannot make 10 with 8 + 5.”
There was the electronic engineer who consoled his kid that in the real world, “simplification is valued over complication” and that using common core methods on the job would result in “termination.” More of Common Core silliness and example to make you chuckle on the next page:
We should force all of the States to stop all of these test because the kids are only learning how to take test and not learning what they need to survive.
Don’t worry… American kids need to only know how to use a EBT card from Gubbermint. The NEW worker class will be imported!
The tests are from ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) from 2015. It applies to all states even without Common Core.
Not sure why CC is funny. It is criminal and should be banned from all schools forever.
How do we make that happen? Banning cc. Im willing to do whatever it takes to get rid of it! Dont know where to star and lack resources! They cant get away with this anymore and the people are the only ones that can stop this madneds before it can not be reversed! We are letting to many years pass by us…..
Common Core is an outline of knowledge. It leaves how to teach, including methods to teachers & textbooks.
By the way, making 10s is fundamental to traditional math & even found in Sesame St. 8+5=13. 13 is the same as 10 + 3. Notice the 10??
