First off, the layout of your blog makes me feel bad about how poor mine is. Your topic is perfect. Common core is honestly the devil. I remember actually going through school and learning how to do things the simple and “old-fashioned” way. I have seen many math methods that the common core is wanting to teach kids. It is so ridiculous that the government not only thinks common core is good, but also is going to push to teach kids ways of doing things that are confusing. I found that parents do get mad at teachers for their kids not getting though a particular subject, but if they only knew what the teachers have to deal with. This new common core is going to be the destruction of our education.
