One student got tired of being dumbed-down by Common Core’s convoluted “standards” to do basic arithmetic.
“Standards” like how to add two numbers, which the student was told to do like THIS:
WHAT? It’s enough to make you pull your hair out.
So when he was given his next basic arithmetic assignment, to find the difference between 180 and 158 (180-158), this 5th grade student just did it his own way — the right way — and dissed Common Core with single, awesome word:
“MATH“…Brilliant!
But this really makes us feel for these kids, who are being corrupted by this incompetent program. How are we ever supposed to compete with China if we have upending even basic arithmetic and confusing young minds in the public schools?
