Are you fucÂking allergic to numberlines? number lines are a retarded, impractical method of learning subtraction for all the special snowflakes who ate glue back in kindergarten, it's never used in the real world and never should be used.Well, obviously. But let's not pretend that number lines are anything new, nor are they used in anything above 3rd grade math. It's not like we're teaching kids algebra with number lines and shit.

What concepts are covered in Advanced Functions? That's not a course title I'm familiar with.

Why would a liberal source link to something that goes against the policies of politicians they support?Just because it's supported by liberals [and a number of conservatives, mind you] doesn't mean it's some attack by liberals to try to inject the public school system with their positions.I'd love to see what conservatives would propose we do to reform schools, but they haven't proposed fucÂk-all.

http://www.republicanviews.org/republican-views-on-education/http://www.scpie.org/alternatives/Republican views on education are simple: Get feds out of education.
Teachers should also be teaching, not reciting from a xerox paper and passing the same paper to students, just with blanks.
Parents also need to be a voice in education and the school adjust based on the input

And we all know what the Republican motivation is, here.
telling about creationism gives another view and refrains from making education a one-sided concept.

Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. So you're partially correct when science teaches facts, but science is the general consensus on a subject and can possibly be disproved with more research in the future
Saying that teaching creationism will make people dumber is kinda redundant. Brazil forbids the teaching of evolution but still ranks lower than American science courses. On the other hand you have Germany which discusses creationism and it's education is ranked far higher than America's
Anyway, Kinder, I'd like to know what your issue is with Common Core, other than it being liberal-backed (which should have no bearing on it's validity).I'm assuming you know that it does not impose a specific curriculum or set any kind of limit for education, only a set of minimum standards.

It's easier to downgrade the education of a more prestigious school because it's just less work for students but upgrading education in a crap school will result in more students dropping out on top of the outrageous current drop out percentage.
So, I think we can all agree that this parent didn't destroy common core at all.

Parent destroys stupidity of Common Core
