Singapore Math is a curriculum. The Common Core standards are not a curriculum. There is no Common Core curriculum, and there are no Common Core worksheets. There are many different curricula that are aligned to the Common Core standards. Some of these curricula are good. Some of these curricula are bad.

(If I had a nickel for every time I have typed this, I'd have a lot of nickels.)

I don't know which of these curricula your daughter's school uses. Do you know?

I know that CC is a standard. I have no problem with their set of standards.  I have  a problem with the way they teach math.  The school is following a textbook that someone wrote and somehow this piece of garbage got approval by the some Education department somewhere.

I have seen many other examples over the Internet of equally bad examples from other textbooks.  So that, in combination with rising rates of home-schooled kids, leads me to think it's not just our school and it's not just our state, it's a common problem (pun intended).[/quote]
