Memorization will come either way with practice. Teaching memorization first is a crutch a kid with poor math skills will rely on and they'll be worse off in the long run.

The issue isn't necessarily with the CCSS, it's with the implementation. There are many students currently in our schools who were taught basic math calculations in the same way that we who are out of school were. For them, we are changing horses midstream. Imagine learning multiplication tables and other math skills through memorization (as we learned), and then have this jibberish thrown at you in the sixth grade and be given no choice but to start using it.
