What’s in Common Core National Standards?
from The Daily Signal
What does Common Core math look like?
Caleb Bonham, Campus Reform’s Editor-in-chief, just released a video that illustrates the dramatic shift in mathematics education students will experience under the Common Core national standards. As the video suggests, Common Core will change dramatically the way math has been taught for decades. [snip]
According to a study conducted by the Pioneer Institute, by seventh grade, the Common Core mathematics standards leave American students two grade levels behind their peers internationally and do not prepare them for admission into highly selective four-year universities and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs.
During a meeting of the Massachusetts Board of Education, Jason Zimba, the lead writer for the Common Core mathematics standards, said Common Core includes “a minimal definition of college readiness” that was not designed to prepare students for admission to selective colleges.
The English standards create their own set of concerns.

Indiana lies. My youngest grandson’s book says in bold print: Common Core.
I’d say what kind of book it is, but since it made no sense as to what the heck they were “teaching” in the book, I can’t tell you what it was. The closest thing might be a “speller.”
I have a calculator, and I know how to use it.
Hint: several states that have opted out of Common Core have invested so much money in it that they are still keeping some of what they already paid for. They are just now in total control, so intend to adapt and make it their own. It will take them a while to dump the stupid totally.
“…by seventh grade, the Common Core mathematics standards leave American students two grade levels behind their peers internationally…”
“Perhaps of greatest concern, it may lead to a decreased capacity for analytical thinking.”
That’s it in a nutshell.
Even without all the other bastardized curricula, without “analytical thinking”, they’re fucked.
Say it with me Norman, WE ARE SO FUCKED”.
Try computing your income tax with Common Core methods and see what happens.
