Parents throughout the country have been struggling to help their children do homework because of new Common Core curriculum. Simple mathematics has become laborious and confusing as now several steps are required to perform simple arithmetic.
Here are 5 examples that demonstrate how challenging school work can be for students these days:
1. It is unacceptable to do math as it has always been done. Now more steps are required.
2. The environmentalists should get upset over how much additional paper will be required to show all these unneeded steps for basic arithmetic.
3. Human rights are “articulated” by the government?
4. We don’t need correct answers. We need “friendly” answers!
5. Now we need a whole new language for math. Perhaps we need translators as well.
This is a struggle that many American parents have each school night. Do you feel Common Core will be an important issue in the next Presidential election?
