When they created common core, it seemed like it was about math and science, but this is what it was really about: culture. They want to reorder it for their family destroying agenda.
My one criticism of this lesson is that the children who got the answer wrong weren’t immediately expelled. pic.twitter.com/6SoKBatNu2

And, while the "half the world" is below average, "half the world" is not below 10 I.Q.. Even below average kids have been able to learn math without common core.
You're basically being snobbish over something where such snobbery is not warranted.
Sure - but to what benefit?
'Old school math' isn't inherently more easy to learn, especially if you're not someone that excels in memorization.
I don't think you're wrong that most people CAN learn the old method of math. I just think it comes harder for most of them and with precisely zero benefit.
So if you can teach baseline stuff in a manner that's easier to pick up, why wouldn't you?
To take it out of the realm of outright snobbery, it's trading ceiling for floor. Yes, the ceiling on CC math his lower, but I think the barriers to entry are lower and ultimately the benefits are identical for the vast majority of people that will be learning it. [Reply]

And I think your position is just plain wrong. Anything else I could say would have us needlessly at loggerheads, so I'll leave it at that. [Reply]

All learning requires some memorization. Memorization is learned with practice. Just like learning an instrument or another skill.

Do you have any proof of this in the absence of longer comparative studies between this method or the Common Core method?
It's all experimentation using other people's children as guinea pigs for decades with each passing trend. Look at the failure that Whole Language led to with reading failures.
Then there is the massive amount of labeling students as learning disabled and what not, which it appears you are doing here. [Reply]

Fair.
I'm not even 100% sure that I'm right. But as I've had to dick with it more, it really reminded me a lot of those mental math drills I did as a kid where speed with basic mathematical functions was critically important.
Otherwise I'd probably loathe it. But when we were trying to streamline math to make it as fast as possible, the tenants of CC math were how it was done.
It's just stood out to me as evidence that there's something to CC being math broken down to its basic, intuitive elements. [Reply]

Fuck no. Why in heaven's name would I have any of that?
Is a supported doctoral thesis now the standard we have to reach to post on Chiefsplanet? Are you kidding me with that shit?

And now pointing out that baseline learners have minds wired completely different from engineers is 'labeling students as learning disabled'...
You've gone 'round the bend here, dear sir... [Reply]
You guys are arguing about common core (a legitimate argument) in a thread in which the OP posted videos of a fake class being taught about genders and love... [Reply]

Yes.

No.
But please, be a bigger cunt about it. And by the way, who fucking asked you? Eat shit, asshole. Who the hell goes flying into the middle of a conversation they have no intention of involving themselves in calling people dumbfucks?
