#CommonCore This is how the Government gets the unemployment rate.

What. The. Fuck. Is. This. Shit.

what “progressive” education in america is turning into.

THE FUCK’S THIS SHIT

what the hell is that supposed to even mean? I had to read over the explanation twice, and I’m taking algebra 2. 

I’m taking fucking Calculus and I don’t get what the teacher is trying to do.

8+5=13. You can’t take 2 out of 5 and have 3 left over and just sitting in the side with nowhere to go. Math doesn’t work like that. AND, MR OR MRS TEACHER, YOU CERTAINLY CAN’T ADD 3 TO 8+2 BECAUSE YOU STILL GET 13

YOU ALREADY DID 8+2=10 YOU GOT 10 WHY DO YOU ADD 3?! YOU WON’T HAVE 10 ANYMORE YOU’LL HAVE 13

WHICH IS WHAT 8+5 IS SUPPOSED TO FUCKING EQUAL

GODDAMMIT

My post with 129,000 notes is back in my dash again

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

As a former math teacher, get me drunk and ask me about the Common Core. I’ll yell at you for like an hour.

And people wonder why homeschooling continues to grow in popularity. We want a far better, secular, education for our kids.

Even if you take 3 from 8 to make the question 5+5, there is still 3 left over and IT HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE YOU CAN’T JUST DELETE NUMBERS BECAUSE THAT’S BULLSHIT.

According to the teachers logic, any problem can equal any number without any reason why.
