Communist Core math

Brenda told me they figured it out. He did exactly what you said about the zero.

My son is in 6th grade and has failed the last 3 tests because I helped him review. I show him how to do the problem, double check the answer and he understands it. Next day he comes home all upset because he missed 12 out of 15 problems on the test. I check and the answers are right. He just didn't get the answer the new way. It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. It takes 5 minutes to do a problem that should take 1 minute. The thing that really chaps me is that I asked his teacher to call/email me to discuss how I can help him study better. That was two weeks ago and still no contact.

I'm frustrated because I feel like I can't help him study anymore. It doesn't logically make sense to solve the problem the way cc is asking yo to solve it.

Total waste of time and our kids are really going to suffer for it.

X2, sixth grade here too and my personal favorite is when they ask to "explain" the math answer. Wait, I thought that's what the answer does? That's when you realize as a parent, your "help" is useless since we only know "dumb" math.

I was in a computer programming class last semester and the instructor says "Come on guys, this is the same math you learned in sixth grade". Uh, not 37 years ago (math).

I'm sure you still think of him like this, awsome videos... Dylan is such a beautiful young man, praise him for his achievements (honor roll), I regret not doing that more with Brandon... :(

My wife has been teaching for 30 years, and says it's a bunch of crap.
She has seen this thinking outside the box theories of teaching/learning before.
There are a few kids that will do well with it, but most need to be taught the traditional way.

Check this kid out

You want to see how are kids are doing against the world in Math Reading And Science look at these rankings. When common core is done with this country we will have hit rock bottom!!!

Thanks Bruce. Yea, he's a whole lot smarter than I ever was. He'll catch on to this and make it his bitch. But as a father that wants nothing more than for him to succeed, I worry.

I listen to a lot of AM talk radio on my long commute home and heard Oklahoma is the first state to drop common core due to diminishing grades. By the looks of it, several other states are going to be dropping it as well.
The fed took away federal funding to schools in Oklahoma after it was dropped. Problem is, the funding that was taken away has been in place long before common core was in place. This will eventually end up in the courts to get resolved.
Bottom line it's a POS and u think we are going to see more stated dropping common core.
