Reform Math or Fuzzy Math has been causing a stir among parents for a long time. Fuzzy math has been limited to school districts that made bad decisions for their students.
Unfortunately with the Common Core Math, we are seeing a widespread implementation of these problematic and confusing math programs. Fuzzy math has been directly linked to the systematic demise in math education in this country. Often times sold as “rigorous”, many of the people selling this potential disaster have never had to teach math to students before.
Now instead of seeing isolated areas where Administrators implement a poor math program at the expense of their students’ math education, Common Core is spreading this harmful curriculum nationwide.
Parents have become so enraged that they are posting their children’s Common Core math homework on face book pages. It’s worth noting that many of these parents are college graduates with degrees in the math field and even they are perplexed by their 2nd grader’s homework.
It makes you wonder why organizations like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce would have jumped behind this reform effort. Then you have to remind yourself, they got a BIG pay-off from the Gates Foundation!
