When you see the equation 7-5=?, we all see the answer as 2. How we get at this does not matter, it's 2. Under common core, if you say the answer is 2 because you did 7,6,5,4,3,2, you are wrong. According to common core, you need to go 5,6,7 and get 2 as your answer. This is one of the many things wrong with common core, and why it needs to go. It forces children to read books aloud that would make Hugh Hefner blush. It sells our children's information to the highest bidder with no firewalls to protect it. It takes away individual imagination by removing fiction from any curriculum (including Shakespeare). These, and many other reasons are why Common Core has to be repealed immediately.
