    I'm a retired science teacher. Kids had no problem with the math problems I gave them because I taught them a process to find the answer.

    In math classes they are more focused on the "process" which is great if you're teaching math-based kids who will go on to college degrees that need that skill.

    But it's worthless for a kid trying to make change or figure out construction dimensions.

    Rote learning is no fun, but it has it's place.

    Another case of folks with an agenda but in serious need of a reality check!

    9 Years Into Obama?s Common Core ? Math Scores at 20 Year Low and Falling

    I'd say Obummers idea was a total success if the idea was to keep the kids fat,dumb and happy on the Democratic Plantation.

    Don't forget it all started with G.W Bush's "no child left behind" which morphed into "no child gets ahead" [B)] meaning everyone gets a trophy and a diploma regardless of results [V].

Johnsons War on Poverty. That's where I believe it started,, in earnest. Lost that war, not enough ammunition, metaphorically speaking.

    By 1979/80 the United Started a slow decline that has lasted until lately. Sure miss the good ole days.

    My #2 son was arguing with me one day and I told him to look up Johnson's "Great Society" and see what all was involved. He was amazed.

    Didn't see the light, but had a much better understanding of some of the things that are going on.

    Actually, Dubya's "no child left behind" had a lot of value; schools that bought Neil Bush's math program helped make him a multi-millionaire.
