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″.

Kendra Courtney, yes its to get the kids or anyone who can see that 5+5+5=15, to doubt themselves, their judgement, their thinking processes, their ability to reason, is shot down and taught to rely on stupid, senseless illogical answers. It’s a mind game.
Regardless, it still STUPID MATH.
Reread my post. This is an example to paint CC in a bad light. There are some others out there too. My son is much better at math than I was at his age. I could spend 15 mins with someone of reasonable intelligence and show them the concepts behind this. And holy cow, it has nothing to do with dumbing down American.
It says 5 x 3 not 3 x 5?
This is how the progressives are creating uneducated and unthinking followers for their lies…..sounds like the fools who willingly got on those trains going to the east???
It does in my math,stupid
I don’t care what they say 5+5+5 =15 PERIOD ! idiots
No hope for America with this kind of thinking…
Pretty sad when the teacher can’t grade a primary school math lesson without the standard sitting before them. This is unacceptable. Creating a generation of morons will certainly kill our great nations future. Is this liberal agenda?
