re: Dad Writes Gag Check to Son's Elementary School Using Common Core Math

I'm mid 50's and I've done ten frame in my head all my life. I just never knew it had a name until my kids brought it home.
I just don't get the complete hatred for Common Core. This is 2015 and times change. When I was in school the US was a laughing stock for education and we were all idiots. Over the years the curriculum has gotten harder and more advanced and my 9th grader is taking my freshman LSU math and also my fathers 1947 sophomore LSU geometry. (we found his textbook not long ago). Now everyone complains because the kids have too much homework, backpacks are too heavy ( my kids is 27 lbs) not enough time for year round all star club baseball.
We can't have our cake and eat it too. Or can we?

Parents don't understand it. People fear what they don't understand.

Parents hate common core math because they don't understand it and can't help their children with homework like they can with other subjects. If a parent doesn't understand enough to help their children, the children are doomed because schools sure aren't getting it done during school hours.

The hatred comes from Teachers who like to complain about change, reaching out to stay at home moms that like to complain on Facebook. Those two camps love each other because it is much easier to complain than it is to learn new concepts and teach them to our children.
ETA: Oh, and the do-nothing Dads, like in the OP, are all too eager to join in, because it is easier to resist change.
