From what I've seen, common core math makes a lot of sense and most likely helps kids understand large numbers and how to approach using them in math a lot better.

What they expect is reasonable. The kids stop doing math after 3rd grade. Try teaching fractions to kids who don’t understand what division is. If the people who profit from common core would back a system that doesn’t allow 5-10% of the students to make the class unteachable it would be fine. No one. And I mean literally no one. Can teach or learn with five kids shouting profanity non-stop for the entire class. And the way they test common core is insane. You give a three hour exam broken into four segments on computer in schools that only carry enough bandwidth for one grade to take it at one time. Other classes have restricted movement all day and drive the teachers insane. The kids being tested sleep through the exam. Then the teacher gets branded unsatisfactory. But yeah, it’s pretty good. Give it a try. See how those low income So Cal students react to it. I’m sure they would love your white ass.

I heard otherwise, that common core math is very difficult. That is why grade people refer to it as "hardcore" math.

^ According to a recent survey, 95% of fish agree with this opinion. Just give me a second to work out if that means anything in terms of your "air=white privilege" metaphor....

Ja, our school system needs a lot of work. That's not much to do with what I was saying though, since we all know that you can't teach the poors anyway.

Well the dot connector is the common core isn’t a method of instruction it’s a framework for evaluation. Teachers already know how to present those problems.

It may have been sold to you like there is such a thing but there isn’t.
