Communist Core math

[Eli]

Come on, there's got to be someone out here that is a teacher or is married to one that thinks this shit is crazy. So far they're all tight lipped and defending it. Too afraid to speak out against the system? But will sure raise holy hell for saying God in class.
What ever happened to multiplying the number given? What is this crap in the little boxes? My son has been high honor roll for 5 years straight, now he misses 8 out of 12 questions? He even knew the right answer using regular math, but got confused doing it the new dumber way.
On top of all this, how am I as a parent supposed to help him study or correct him if he's confused?

I get the reason why people have to learn long multiplication, which we use calculators for, but what's the deal with changing math that we already don't do without a calculator? Are they trying to make it even less necessary to learn?

I'd raise hell and shout "One Nation Under God" in between the "WTF is this" comments.
