Titan is the kind of thing I would ironically name the whitest possible kid. I think she did good.

When he gets bullied in school would they call it "Attack on Titan"?

BaronVonVaderham posted:I was a math teacher. A lot of it is peers reinforcing this attitude (it's "cool" to say you hate math and don't understand it), and a lot of it is that we're constantly told math is hard. It's impossible to learn to do something you've already decided you can't learn to do. There are side issues of teaching algorithmic methods ("memorizing your multiplication tables" rather than really understanding how everything is related so you can just do it on the fly in your head), but the biggest barriers are the ones students, and their parents proudly bragging about how they can't help with that math homework, set up for themselves. My mom was a first grade teacher for over 40 years (just retired a year ago) and says that she has had great success with teaching the general way of thinking necessary for math rather than the algorithms (basically some of the same changes Common Core introduces). Pretty much all of her children were able to at least perform up to standards. One example of an exercise she would do is to tel the kids to "make 100" (or whatever number), which is a good exercise because it's something that lets all of the kids challenge themselves according to their skill level. A less skilled kid could say "99+1" while a more skilled one could say 6^2 + 8^2 (some first graders are really smart). The kids would compete over whole could come up with the most interesting ways to making 100. Granted, this is in first grade, which is before a lot of the social elements you mention are introduced into the equation. In first grade most of the kids are still clean slates (unless their parents biased them against a subject), so there's a lot of room to shape their opinions towards math in a positive manner.

Therefore this person is a grade A moron. Does he think that if the ancient Egyptians weren't black, it means they were white?

Oh my god, timed multiplication tests killed me in elementary school. My palms would get sweaty and my brain would go blank. Meanwhile I was teaching myself algebra from the workbooks my mom bought me at the teacher supply store. I'm no math wiz, but I was completely wrongly assessed. I would have loved common core.

What I remember from first grade math was writing my twos with a loop, my teacher telling me not to, and when I kept it up she made an example of me and everyone laughed. Still don't make straight twos bitch.

On the other hand, maybe I wouldn't be mathematically retarded if my teachers did more than just tell me I was being lazy and stupid every time I told them I didn't understand the material and did all but beg for help to understand any of what we were doing beyond basic poo poo like multiplication. After a while I am going to give up because it's obvious no one's going to help me understand, and I can't just magic understanding into my own head if after several years I've still failed to get it.  So how about an obvious photoshop people still manage to fall for? At least the top comment calls it out.

Krispy Kareem posted:Essentially it's a nationwide standard. As such it could be made of rainbows and unicorns and a not insignificant number of people would protest it solely on the grounds of the 10th Amendment. To expand on this, here's a summary of the reasons people give for being against it: -It's teaching "the wrong way" because it's not how they were taught math growing up. -Concerns that mirror the issues with respect to all standardized testing stuff like No Child Left Behind (overly focused on specific subjects, makes teachers and school districts teach students how to take tests well but doesn't teach actual useful information). -"Federal government shouldn't be able to tell me how to raise my kids." -It can be a very big problem trying to get poor/underperforming schools up to common core standards, both in terms of cost to implement common core and in terms of damage to the school if it doesn't test up to standards. -It makes it harder for schools to cater to the really good students. Some of these things are just people being dumb and resistant to change, some of them are real issues that are worth addressing with common core. Regardless of any issues, it has definitely been an overall benefit to the education systems of a lot of the poor education systems in many states.

The problem isn't so much common core as it is the kids. I go to the PTA meetings and I swear every time I talk to a parent their child has ADD or OCD or autistic or something. No one has a regular kid anymore they're all (and I use this term respectfully) tardos. It's just weird to hear a mom haranguing teachers that her kid isn't being given the same opportunities when a "good week" for her 15 year old son is only making GBS threads himself twice. We have a kid obviously going to college on a scholarship and then we have your tardo kid eating paste who will never contribute to society in a meaningful way. I wonder why things seem different. I don't blame the kid, he didn't choose to be a tardo. Anyway I forgot what I was saying but build the wall, require picture ID to vote and don't give the choice of refusing breathalyzers.
