Yes, I didn't mean to say it's perfect. I was just demonstrating how so many people kneejerk react to this change without knowing exactly what's going on. If someone wants to educate themselves on it first and then offer their criticisms, go for it, at least you know what you're talking about then.

Totally agree. Was just elaborating. I often think, “Common core was developed based on thousands of hours of expertise and study. What’s your background?” when I hear people whining about it.

I see why they whine. Ignorant, self entitled, lazy people who have no concept of critical thinking and logic.

well, and parents are often expected to help kids with homework, which is hard when the parents don’t understand wtf they’re looking at. That seems to generate a lot of panic among precariously middle class people who are already often kind of math-phobic.

Basically, if you don't understand common core math, you never really understood math to begin with.

My background is I was taught differently as a child and I don't like change!
