I hate hate hate common core to the point that I wrote a letter to my child's teacher and principle basically stating that as long as she has problems correct I do not want to see bullshit that she did not use common core methods to solve it and that I am sorry she may be more intelligent than they assume they should be.

Damn! Go, Rena!
I was just telling someone on the phone a while ago that Math has changed since I went to school.

Legally I can pull Lois from most of the math classes due to her being on the spectrum but I would prefer to give her as many chances as possible to prove how awesome she really can be. But I refuse to allow her sense of accomplishment to be diminished because she understood basic adding but not core shit.

WTF is common core?? I'm so confused...

Here's another stupid example.

I don't understand what the point of this is and I'm going to be really upset if Nya brings home this crap.
I think the "old fashioned" way worked just fine

I HATE this common core bullshit. WHY try to reinvent the wheel? If it's not broke DON'T fix it. Seriously thinking about homeschooling because of this shit.

I'm so confused!

I think its completely stupid to re-do the simple shit and in the 80s when more people were becoming more aware of learning disabilities like dyslexia people understood that some people need to learn different ways. This can only confuse people and i hope it gets banned like ebonics fucking did. Stupid shit.
