Common Core is one of the heavily debated issues between liberals and conservatives. Common Core is new Obama led initiative being implemented in most school districts nationwide. It’s a centralized system, giving the power over all public school students and their data to Washington.
Besides the logistics that over reach into our children’s test scores, and all the data about that child, Common Core is curriculum that changes the way our children learn. The math portion is so confusing, it is so irrational, its everything that the definition of math is not.
A video of Common Core math went viral recently. It illustrates the problematic issues at the heart of Common Core. Common Core has been compared to Orwell’s “1984″.

You can bet when the IRS calculates your tax bill they will use good old fashioned math……
Dumbing down our kids so that they can be sheep!
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.~~~~~http://rense.com/general32/americ.htm
common core is the stupidest thing
Teacher should have given partial credit. Teacher did not state she wanted all answers to get this answer.
Common core is SENSELESS!!!!!
It really is ridiculous. I have no idea how they twist a simple arithmetic problem. The question clearly states: 5×3….that is literally 5, three times….the teachers “correct” answer seems to suggest the question is asked: 3×5, which then it would be correct.
I am a teacher. I am also a conservative. So much so I have the second ammendment tattooed on my right butt cheek. CC has been around long before Obama. This example and some others floating around, are horrible examples of CC. The intent of CC is to teach someone how to get a math answer from several different ways. This will develop critical thinking skills that will be very valuable when they start to learn higher math. CC itself has nothing to do right or left politics. Teaches having to teach to only glorify standardized tests is a different story.
Attention please:
Today is December 30, 2015
30 + 12 + 15 = 57
Its the 21st century:
21x 57 = 1197
Now we add the two Numbers:
1197+2015 = 3212
As you can see, this number has no meaning at all.
Thanks for your attention
Yet ANOTHER reason I’m vindicated for sacrificing what ever it took to send my kids to private school…they can read, write and compute correctly….an ignorant child is a slave to follow bad ideas and poor values of dangerous people….
