“That’s right, it’s absolutely true that Common Core does add steps, but I think that’s an improvement in a way, because it’s the way I do it in my head,” so it’s a way of learning to do math in your head?
The older experienced ones ignore them. The younger ones that don't know any better drink the kool aid.
Common core is still going to teach the old school way to add, but when they a talking about is common sense reasoning, that is "adding steps," they're talking about guiding kids to do common sense reasoning sooner. And yes, it's how many (intelligent) adults would do the simple arithmetic in their head (although self learned).
If I asked you what is 87 plus 65. Many people would think: Well 87 is 13 away from 100, and 65 minus 13 is 52, so the answer is 152.
Common core is not indoctrination
Educational theory is easily the 2nd most intellectually dishonest profession behind economics.
So you see what the people administrating Common Core are doing? They are training children to be little activists to push for less civil liberties.
those kids at yale were pre-common core
Beyond belief what a relative of mine said in response to the fact Common Core math actually adds steps to the process of adding and subtracting, making the process longer. As a mother of two young children, she said, “That’s right, it’s absolutely true that Common Core does add steps, but I think that’s an improvement in a way, because it’s the way I do it in my head,” so it’s a way of learning to do math in your head?
You see, my relative is more accepting of the educational system than I, because it has very successfully dumbed down the population. I would be just as brainwashed as my younger relative if I didn’t know someone who took the time to WAKE ME UP and show me how the schools and the media are constantly propagandizing people. It took me a long time to come around and face the truth. When you believe a lie your whole life, the truth sounds like a lie.
She went through the same mind control system that she is now sending her kids into. She doesn’t think they will turn out to be “drones,” as she put it, but being a drone is exactly what they will become, another cog in the machinery of the corporate controlled world.
The right wing movement is largely against the federal government being involved in education, and their worst fears have been realized. The schools are being used to propagandize the youth with left-wing activism.
Common Core “Read-Alouds and Writing Projects” in “Good Neighbors Voices” trains impressionable young minds to be good activists. It tells teachers how to show students what words are most effective in spurring people into supporting activist causes. So by time they go to college, they are protesting against their right to wear any costume they want on Halloween.
Students end up protesting against their own interests, because the education system has failed them. Instead of teaching them anything practical, or inspirational, they learned how to shut down free speech, without voicing a valid counter argument.
