NPR did a report on common core math this morning. Kids love it. Teachers say the transition was hard, but kids learning it say it is way easier.

Shocking. Looks like I'm still right.

As a Canadian I don't have a horse in this race, but you are being dishonest is stating the kids say it is "way easier" when what they actually did was offer a split opinion on its difficulty rather than its ease.

The day I got my Ph.D. two people told me they hated math. Every time I meet someone new, they tell me they hate math once they learn what I do.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't dislike what you do but I'm sure I understand very little of it.

But for real, I don't hate math and am glad you can do it because its probably important for something and someone has to get around to do.
