Trump put out an official announcement today

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/12/01/noted-catholic-educator-time-trump-roll-back-common-core/

Notre Dame law professor and noted Catholic educator Gerard Bradley says it’s time for Donald Trump to focus on eliminating the Common Core standards by lighting a fire under the grassroots movement that drew attention to the federal reform some years ago.

    “contrary to tradition and academic studies on reading and human formation
    Make creationism great again!
    Why don't we go all the way and teach everyone that the earth is 4000 years old while we're at it

    I helped out at my kids school last year....went to the 4th Grade classroom to "help" with fractions.

    Holy hell I didn't know what I was looking at.....my old school way of taking the denominator multiplying it by the whole number than adding the numerator came out fine everytime.

    Some wanky graph they had this poor girl doing....I couldn't ever get the answer. I still feel bad for confusing the poor thing even worse

    Pics of the girl?
    Black.

    Maybe Race's daughter?
    in PUBLIC school? um no.

    No it isn't. It took me about thirty second to realize what Common Core was after looking at it.

    It's preparation for going to the Metric System which we should have changed to over 25 years ago. The people that invented the retarded system we still measure with think it's retarded.

    Secondly it's to get kids used to binary math structure which is absolutely necessary for coding. Computers run everything and will be even more in control in the future. It's probably a sound idea to get the masses used to how they work.

    We have to import most of our mathmeticians from places that aren't retarded about math. Let's keep our kids in the stone age. You don't have to pay stupid people much.

    I really don't get the controversy with common core. I used the same techniques throughout elementary school, it just didn't have a name.

    Fucking old men yelling at clouds.

    What gets me about common core is that I am able to think exactly the way common core math is supposed to get people to think, but I get totally lost in the way it tries to teach it because the instructions are horribly written.
