The Common Core standards are a disgrace to our country, and have done nothing to help our nation in math. We should be following many other countries methods, which seem to work, seeing how many countries are superior to ours in math. I've witnessed middle schoolers play with blocks in their class, and when I asked the teacher why, she told me how it was in their Common Core standards. Most of the grade went on to fail their test, proving the methods do not work. Our children should be learning simple functions and formulas, that help them remember how to complete simple equations. Our country was much petter off when we actually taught our children how to do math simply and swiftly. Abolish Common Core!
