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.

Or, maybe the parent could do a little research and learn about it. If it's something that they are teaching elementary school kids, it shouldn't take educated adults long at all to figure it out on their own, and then they can help their kids.
