[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  I thought Virginia didn't accept the common core. My daughter has a teacher from another state and she's a common core robot. She spews out endless insane and inane worksheets and tests the kids constantly using tests with strange wording that don't even seem to measure if the child has a basic understanding. I asked her why kids so young need to be tested so often in every single subject and I questioned the use of these common core worksheets that make simple problems into a nightmare that would send an accountant screaming in the street. I said it can suck the love of learning right out them. This did not compute. She went right back to churning out worksheets that address varies aspects of common core and she keeps testing.

Not officially, but it sure seems like it sometimes! I am fed up with third grade math. My child has had at least two homework worksheets that had a math problem that couldn't be answered correctly. There was no answer. What's the point of this for a third grader? To show them that math is hard? To waste their time? To aggravate the parents who have to try to explain this to their kid? My kid isn't learning anything at school this year. He comes home tired, and completely overwhelmed by the amount of homework he has to do. What are they doing all day in school? He's there 7 hours a day and then he's supposed to come home and spend ANOTHER hour on homework? And he honestly seems like he has no clue what to do most of the time. [/quote]

Can you post the unsolvable math problems?  I am really curious.[/quote]
