My child has no problem with word problems, it's when they purposely make things difficult by making word problems something where a child needs to be an abstract thinker before she or she is developmentally ready and able is frustrating to me. The article about the NY common core applies to the thinking behind the abstract of this type of math, when math is a straightforward subject. [/quote]

I disagree -- both about the subject of the article, and about the Common Core math standards requiring abstract thinking before children are developmentally ready. I think that the Common Core math standards are appropriate to the development of most children. Could you cite some Common Core math standards that you think are not appropriate?[/quote]

If you child is struggling with critical thinking about math, your child needs practice in critical thinking.  Common Core will give that to them. It will make them better over the long haul. It's frustrating to me that so many parents dislike Common Core because it made school more rigorous for their children. More rigorous learning is good for kids![/quote]

Not if they give up and drop out, which even the Common Core advocates agree is about to happen.[/quote]
