Common core nightmare
My daughter is in the top 1% of students her age. Imagine my shock when I discovered that she does not know how to do 'long' multiplication or division! (She is in 5th grade!). It's really frightening what Common core has done to our education system!
Let me make this absolutely clear. The Common Core Standard says students should know how to do long division by the end of the 4th grade (at the latest). You feel that your 5th grade daughter should know how to do long division. You agree with the Common Core Standard regarding long division.
My feelings about Common Core aren't simply for or against. When I saw your complaint I figured I'd look up what the Common Core Standard was regarding long division. Apparently I'm the only one in this forum who thinks we should read what the standards actually say before making a judgement call. I think the hatred of Common Core has reach a fanatical level, so much so that when anything even seems to be wrong in education, it will be blamed on Common Core.
I am a math tutor. I don't like the government takeover of education. I intend to homeschool my children. My wife and I will teach them according to their needs.
I have a premiere to get to. Leave me alone. :)
Is it not safe to assume that government can't be trusted to do what they say...even back in the Regan days. Was there even a mapped out plan for how this border seal was going to happen? He pandered.
