Are they teaching your kids this worthless bullshit??

the facts are going to come out when people talk to their own kids. You are the only one that keep coming at people when they post here. All I am doing is asking you to quit coming at people with the same shit you said already. Not going to argue with you either, so go ahead and get the last word.

 

lol
if people are saying i cant figure it out....im going to point out why they cant figure it out....thats the right thing to do.
now i also pointed out that ccs was bipartison, i also invited u in a round bout way to put forth your points against and u havent.

lol.
do you know why they implemented CCS or at least one reason.

 

You deserve a round of applause for bringing politics into a discussion about math education for the kids. You win buddy

 

lol. wow . you no idea whats up. u do know a group of governors and others started ccs and now politicians and pundits are debating it...so wtf are talking about.
you brought up common core...

 

You find it hard to believe that some people are actually concerned with education, and the future of the kids as opposed to politics, and you think I am the one that's lost? lol........ok. People who actually fix things for a living are less concerned with who broke it. Its obvious what type of person you are.

 

lol...you have no clue what u r talking bout....at all.

 

Thanks for the heads-up. It looked totally counter-intuitive, but I haven't talked to my son's teachers about their teaching methodology, ever. I'm guilty (as many parents probably are) of judging based on my son's grades and perceived achievement. If they appear okay, I assume all is well. When I've helped him with homework in the past, I never saw anything like this.

 

yeah we are guilty...remember its our child and we are protective...we the parents have to look at teachers as partners not the enemy. i suggest remember with math ...the teacher have several approaches to solve subtraction,adding, multiplication division and other elementary math problems....find the approach you and ur child is comfortable with.

upfront....some approaches are harder than the problem

 

Totally. Which sort of defeats the whole purpose, in my humble opinion.

 

I'm on the edge of not believing much of anything that appears online anymore. So much of the stuff is fake.

My daughter is in 5/6 and she's NEVER learned to do math that way.

I will need further proof that this isn't fake before I get outraged at the stupidity of the "new" way.

 

you hit on a very important issue. COMMON CORE is not the issue totally or alone....its no child left behind act 2001. standardized tests causes many problem and not enuff solutions. example teachers lack enuff time to teach critical thinking and procedural knowledge...

 

dude, thats not an opinion thats a fact. you are rite....it does defeat the purpose.

As TAMSTRONG was saying students arent given flexibility on which approach they are comfortable with.

i believe the teachers are cramming test prepping but not teaching multiple approaches because they are not given the time.

 

No doubt. The truest test of a teaching method is the degree to which learning is increased.
