B.S in Mathematics here. Common Core, to Math is like Astrology to Astronomy. And just like the gypsies that practiced astrology in the 1930's and 1940's in Germany, Common Core teachers should also be rounded up and gassed.

Are you sure you're in the right field? The stuff I've seen bitched about in the common core math section is stuff I figured out how to do in elementary school without ever being taught it. It's basically just rearranging a problem in your head to make it simpler to parse. I could understand if you were upset about the bullshit feminist brainwashing in common core, but this? If it's really like astronomy to you then you might want to look into pursuing a different field...

I have a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and I can confirm that common core math is retarded. This should come as no surprise though because common core was created to fight "white privilege" by making it difficult for parents to help their kids on their homework.

there is a video of teachers using common core that show -4=16 since common core allowed them to come up with both answers. they are satan.

Teachers used to teach the mathematical concepts, and clarified them with examples and small algorithms you could do in your head.
Under common core, teachers teach the examples, and assume that students understand the underlying concept.
This is why common core math is bad. It promotes reciting instead of understanding. It's also why common core maths can promote brainwashing, despite being maths: it discourages thinking.

Commoncore math is impractical. Especially since in the real world, all math is done using computers.
