Get your kids out of public school if you are in a blue state that offers Common Core math and other leftist ideology.

The video of this boy doing math, according to Democrat Common Core, has gone viral. It’s insane, and I’m an educator. Most of us tied to the Sentinel are teachers – normal teachers.

Here’s more:

35
x 12
35 x 10 = 350
35 x 2 = 70
answer 420

Use the teacher’s common core method and you well never finish any standard math test. Her way is more complicated and way too slow.

Reading, writing, and arithmetic. That is the core of education. The rest is all subjective. So if you can’t afford a good private school for your kids, make sure they know how to Read, Write, Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide. Then tell them to question everything else. I also recommend Baptism and Sunday School. Praise Jesus.

In about 2 sec. I had the answer. The easiest is 35 X 10 is quick to calculate. Since (2) is left over it’s easy to double 35. The next step is 35 and 7. It takes two seconds. How often do we see people in convenience stores incapable of calculating the change from a dollar.

Most people suck at math is a reality. The problem is that the public education system is designed only one way, one size fits all. Most of the people that I’ve known that are extremely good at math are not as proficient in other areas of academics. Myself I’ve never found mathematics to be of much interests. But I was way ahead of other students in reading, comprehending, and mechanical skills. People are not created equally with identical talents and virtues is the fact of the matter. And that children as well as adults develop skills at different intervals in life.

Education is something that in reality never ends, although that’s not what the public education system endeavors to emphasize and encourages people to believe. But dumbing down mathematics for everyone is certainly not a constructive solution. That is a flawed liberal ideological concept, that lowering the bar or giving out free stuff helps anyone.

The core problem is the that public education system of today was and is designed for social engineering and indoctrination purposes, not empowering or educating. Before the government got involved with public education, school time hours where half of what they force children to endure today, why because they’re now being conditioned from childhood to punch in and out and to seek peer pressure approval, not to think for themselves.

In the modern-day Democratic Party, are there any unflawed liberal ideas? Seriously? I can’t think of one. Seems intentional to me. Even the dumbest person in the world would occasionally make a logical, beneficial decision. This destruction of America is entirely intentional.

I had seen a similar video I think it was back When Obama was still President

and I instantly came to this conclusion

common core math is designed to do two things

-1- slow down the intelligent kids

-2- help the low IQ kids

And since most of the brilliant kids are white, common core math slows them down to the level of the hispanics and blacks

and since many hispanics and blacks have low IQs common core helps them do maths that they otherwise could not do or would do with a lot of difficulty

it is like making tall kids walk on their knees to be less tall

and giving platform shoes to the short kids to make them taller

No wonder Obama fully supported something that would slow down brilliant white kids and give a boost to low IQ non-white kids.

There is no other reason why common core exists.
