Our young people can't name three founding fathers if you spot them Adams and Jefferson. They can't name the current VP. They think the free marketplace is evil.
Yeah that kind of abuse
I am not so sure the current VP can name the current VP or get the right answer to 3 X 4 = ?
So, what do you expect?
Immie
Okay. I'll jump in.
Funding.
Test passing for money. Lower standards to pass the test for the money. Those tests are math/reading.
They don't even get Columbus sailed the ocean blue until 5th.
Behind the 8 ball with funding for testing.

Can you explain what your answer had to do with my post? You lost me

ABeka is replaced with Common. The PRIVATES are being funded by the Fed for Common Core.
Do you even understand that?
Okay. I'll jump in.

I lost you because you have zero idea about education in our country.
You want me to answer this?
LOLOLOL I thought the OP was about Common Core.

Our VP and Core.Can you explain what your answer had to do with my post? You lost me

I'm not so sure you understand how to read. I commented on our VP and said nothing at all about our education system and you jump in on something completely off the wall.

It is very important that students have basic knowledge such as knowing their multiplication table. 3 x 4 does not equal 11. It makes no sense to give a student any credit for trying to explain why 3 x 4 should equal 11. Of course 3 x 4 = 12! The video is edited to make it seem like 3 x 4 is the math problem being discussed. That makes the speaker seem foolish.
People may agree or disagree with the concept of giving partial credit when a student shows promise with a complex math problem but gets the problem incorrect by having a brain fart with a basic computation. But take a second look at that video. The speaker is not saying that 3 x 4 = 11 is acceptable as a correct answer. But the video sure is edited to make us think that is what she is saying.

The nuances are a little too hard to understand I think Bob.
Logic and critical thinking are actively discouraged in some circles.
