Aleuts rock, chummer.


I wish I had gotten minimum wage in the military when I was working 12 hours a day on 7 day cycles. It wound up being 28 days on with 9 days off, rotating shift work and boy did it suck.

Common core looks like a load of horseshit to me.

I looked at a sample explanation once and I didn't understand it at first but it was all about number relationships and I figured out how to do it. For example if you multiple 19 * 17 traditionally you'd go with multiplying it out and adding up 190 + 70 + 63 = 323 Common core's methodology has you multiple 17 * 20 and subtract 17 so you get 340 -17 = 323 So 3 multiplications + 3 additions vs one multiplication and one subtraction.

It's because the process focuses on why you're doing each step, and what the operation means, in a world where a calculator is in everyone's pocket.


Yeah, you're not "making 10," you're getting to 10 "on the way" to 13. It promotes general number sense and the physicist's estimation, of getting to the nearest order of magnitude and working from there.

Except NOBAMA tainted the test questions with his George Soros Jeeeewwwwww magic so the kids ain't learnin's poo poo! Only common core I need is the common width of the core of the rod I beat the stupid outta mah kids with!

Praise jebus.
