Federal study even shows Common Core sucks
- Thread starter hoamskilet
- Start date
Common Core is why I'm saving to pay for private school.
The problems that drive me nuts are the "estimate" ones where they give you all of the information needed to solve the problem. Estimates are only needed when all of the information isn't available. If you have the info you can just solve for the answer.
Right? In what scenario is it better to provide an estimate if you have the information to provide an exact answer?
When trying to get more money than you need...
When you’re hoping to short change the hooker?
When you are developing a bid proposal/RFQ/RFP response for a government contract.
I apply this theory for every single RFQ/RFP/AIR that a government organization sends to me for pricing.
I hope they change this shit before my two year old starts elementary school.
When you bid out work you call it an estimate because you can't account for any issues/discovery work that might come up.
I didn't even think it was legal to teach CC in TX. I know it was rejected state-wide when it was first introduced.
its technically not, but it's eerily similar to the core crap taught in other states...Teachers have been ringing the alarm bells for years here.
There is a reason my wife and I have decided to spend an additional 16K a year to make sure our oldest receives a proper, traditional/classic high school education. We will do the same when it comes to our youngest, fortunately we have some breathing room since she is 6 years younger.

Geeze. what a mess. Looks like they are trying to get to subtractions problem without using subtraction. Sheeesh
Pretty much. I'm already looking at Charter schools for my 3 year old. I hate to send him to a charter school but the public schools here are among the worst in the nation. There are some phenomenal college prep schools that offer top notch athletic programs and everything that charters don't but I can't afford them. I'm going as far as looking at career changes just to keep him out of AZ public schools
Math is being taught this way in a large percentage of the country today.
Do they still teach algebra, geometry and trig to these kids?
I aced math way back, and still use it daily in my field.
My one 7 year old grandson brought some crap home that was stupid as hell. He needs help, so My wife said, ask grandpa, He’s great at math. I had zero clue what he was doing.
Do ****ing flash cards even exist anymore?
