Another strike against Common Core! A Facebook update from a parent frustrated with the Common Core math program at his son’s school has made the Internet rounds after the boy struggled to solve a simple math problem under the CC guidelines. The parent’s note: “Dear Jack, Don’t feel bad. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronics Engineering, which included extensive study in differential equations and other higher math applications. Even I cannot explain the Common Core mathematics approach, nor get the answer correct. In the real world, simplification is valued over complication. Therefore, 427 - 316 = 111. The answer is solved in under 5 seconds — 111. The process used is ridiculous and would result in termination if used. Sincerely, Frustrated Parent.”
