that is a great example for why common core is superior to the old way

Common core is for kids who are too dumb to understand normal school work

Why are they throwing gang signs? Math shouldn't get you killed, yo.

Yeah, for once I agree with it

The ignorance around this subject is astounding. Almost every credible expert in the field of math says this is how kids should be taught.
It is how the kids from around the world who are killing our kids in math and science are being taught.
It is how you as an adult instinctively do math in your head.
Oh, btw...the "Old way" is still taught, then these alternative methods are taught in addition to the old way. They are more effective, easier to perform and give kids a deeper understanding of the relationships between numbers. These concepts will greatly help them in developing the critical thinking necessary to perform higher math functions in HS and College.
Despite what the tin foil hatters have told you, the CC STATE Standards were developed by states, mostly lead by Republican Governors and Legislators BEFORE Obama was elected president, and there is NO Federal Curriculum mandated by the Fed Gov related to Common Core.
If you don't think 31 states, bringing to bear all of their resources can come up with a better set of standards than Louisiana (ranked in the bottom few states for education for all eternity) acting on its own, you probably should put down your crack pipe.
When 90+ percent of doctors tell me a particular treatment is best for me, I typically go with that.
When I need my taxes done, I typically go to a CPA
Suddenly, we should all go to a bunch of housewives and politicians with no Ed background to tell us how we should educate our kids... Because Obama?

I completely agree with you and the masses who won't accept it because it's different, but that isn't the only problem. Our teachers haven't been properly taught how to teach it.
You've got the blind leading the blind in many public schools and when Johnny brings his homework home, his mother, let's call her Cinnamon, takes to facebook(and probably myspace too) and blasts Common Core because she don't understand this Obama math. It's not necessarily Johnny's fault, even though Johnny might very well be an idiot, but because his teacher might not have had proper training.
ETA: Oh there's a whole other thread on it...

haha you hit the nail on the head. The amount of people who don't bother to educate themselves on things and just get told what to say is ridiculous

I always understood the only criticism of common core was the injection of politics and ideas into the word problems and reading list. I don't think the learning methods are the issue with primary education though.

I must be an idiot because I cannot figure out what the hell is going on in the bottom half of that picture.
