Right? Rough life, man.
I have one of the crappiest cars in my neighborhood, and I don't have a crappy car.
What car do you have?
2007 Audi A3 s-line

Better than having to deal with Hybrids and Teslas and all those obnoxious liberals who think they're better than everyone else.
You can't swing a dead cat by its tail without hitting a Prius or Tesla S around here, either. $60k for a luxury electric vehicle is nothing for these people.

Cars in general are uninteresting
Your face is uninteresting.

I live in Irvine and work in Newport Beach. I drive by Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Maseratis, Aston Martins, McLarens every day. I drive by a Bentley dealership on my way to work in the morning. I was parked next to a Porsche GT3 at Starbucks this morning.
Eh.
It's like seeing a Toyota Corolla at this point.

You literally only care because the missing votes would likely vote democrat. Otherwise you would not give two shits--any of you.
Surely it couldn't be that we support a democratic voting system, regardless of which party it may favor. Nope, fuck that. We're all partisan assholes. lol

I'm pretty sure there's international treaties that prohibit such a practice.

Orange County got a little sprinkling tonight. It was nice.
Wish we got more, though.

Literally nowhere does CC outline that only a number line is to be used.
Oh blast. I suppose every other part of my post is to be ignored because I was going by my state's curriculum.
...
Do you have an actual reply to my post?
That is my reply to your post. Common Core doesn't say that a specific method is to be used for mathematic calculations.

If someone really wants to impress me they should do it on the national evening news.
There's a 5-10 second broadcast delay to catch these things, so even if you do it, it'll never air.

Damn. Looks like the girlfriend is going to be busy today.
why's that?
For privacy reasons, I wont say what she does or who she works for, but she works along with the Wichita PD for investigations and cases.
FAA? I remember you a while back saying you were visiting your GF in D.C. Like over half of people in D.C have government jobs
I will say that it's a government job, yes. And yeah she did her masters in DC, and now works in Wichita.
Please tell me you don't work in wichita?
Nope. I live and work in Orange County, CA
Lol whew, give me her number and I can take her out for a nice seafood dinner and then never call her again!
lol Ok guy.

I'm tired of not having weather. Southern California is beautiful, but there's no variety. We haven't had a drop of rain in months. We rarely have cloudy skies.
I want some rain. I want some wind. I want some weather.

I won't support common core until it is updated to include the TRUE STORY of God's creation of the Earth in 7 DAYS as an alternative to evolution.
We must teach ALL the angles.

The problem with Common Core is that it's trying to get each student to use the same means to an end when it comes to math. Whereas before some students used number lines while others used their fingers or other methods (like what was seen in the Japanese math video), now it's imperative that EVERY student use a number line for addition and subtraction and whatever method is used for multiplication.
But we've had this problem before. When I was first learning multiplication I didn't memorize the tables, I just cut up the functions (ex: 6*7 --> 6*5 + 6*2). That worked fine until I was showing my work in fourth and fifth grade and the teachers got really anal about using "their method" (memorizing the tables). Quite frankly I found my method easier and I still use it today.
A lot of the people up in arms about the way CC teaches math are mad that the schools aren't teaching math the way they were taught. If we had CC when I was in elementary school and their method was the only one accepted we'd be in the exact same situation. They miss the point: The problem with Common Core isn't that it teaches this method over that method, it's that it only accepts one method as valid.
Literally nowhere does CC outline that only a number line is to be used.

Traditional math IS quick and simple for many children.
Yes.
The ones it's not are those who are special needs and are placed in specialized classes with others like them.
What? What the fuck are you talking about?
Children with a deficiency in math may have a mental disorder. Kids with mental disorders are placed in class rooms where they are given alternatives to help them
LOL "kids who struggle with math have a mental disorder" Ok. Bye.

The thing I don't like about Common Core.. is we should be striving for the most efficient and simple way on solving a mathematical problem. I've seen that number line crap (or however the teacher is trying to present it) in action and thinking to myself, "That takes twice as long to get the same answer as just stating 30+5 is 35"
So much this. We need to be preparing children for the real life, that means teaching applied skills. In an everyday work scenario, a person will either pull out a calculator or quickly jot down a problem like 2+2x4(5-3) and solve it that way. It's simple, time saving, and the best way to do math.
You are so goddamn wrong. How the fuck can a person apply a skill that he doesn't even have?
. . . . . .
School=Education
Education=Teaching
Teaching=Learning math
Learning math=Being able to add, subtract, divide, multiple
And how, exactly, do you expect little kids to apply arithmetic when they don't understand it?
School=Education
Education=Teaching
Teaching=Learning math
Learning math=Being able to add, subtract, divide, multiple
So then why the fuck are you against using more than one example to teach children?
I'm not. I'm against the more complex and impractical form being taught. Traditional math has worked for centuries; if it isn't broke then don't fix it
So then why are you against number lines? They have also been used for centuries.
I'm just using number lines as a quick reference example. Others include whatever this shit is called
This is time consuming and VERY impractical and no logical reason to make it the main focus
I have literally never seen these as part of the Common Core curriculum.
Wouldn't surprise me if it was FUD spread by the conservative crowd.
So because you've never seen it, it's automatically stuff spread by conservatives? lolk
Well, considering I'm the only person here [to my knowledge] who has actually been a teacher...
