Since I KNOW We’re All Sharp as Tacks First Thing in the Morning

How about a little Common Core math to get things rolling?

"What number does this smell like?" RT @GaltsGirl: I kid you not. Common Core. WTF. http://t.co/7QzXLWyYSf

   Time to take education away from ‘educators’ & hand it back to teachers.

   Is this supposed to be Martian mathematics? No wonder Marvin could never successfully blow up the Earth.

   I’m not defending this at all–in fact, at my prior school I heard parents object to the new math program all the time–but those drawings look like the “Cuisinart blocks” we had in second grade in the early ’80s. It’s just not 3D which frankly would be preferable if it was necessary. I was kinda bored with the blocks by second grade, frankly.

   5 semesters of college & grad school statistics, 2 of college calculus, & I can’t even figure out WTF they want on questions 1-6.
