Ahh, Common Core math. Now implemented in 46 states, the controversial standards have had parents crossing their eyes in confusion and frustration since the day it was introduced.
Many parents have taken to social media to share their disdain for the new standards.
But one Ohio dad showed his kid’s school how far removed from real-life application he feels Common Core is in a way that’s sure to get their attention: He challenged them to take it to the bank.
The donation check to Melridge Elementary was written out according to the longform Common Core standards — which anyone old enough to work at a bank would have to learn from scratch before cashing the check.
Say what you want about the Common Core, but that’s one hell of a slick dad-troll, Douglas from Ohio. We salute you.
HAHA! I love seeing these, really shows how dumbed down the nation is, now just imagine what things will look like in10-20 years after enough of them have been pumped out… Yikes.
I suggest everyone follow the link and look at the comments, people are trying desperately to SUPPORT common core math!
Or better yet, let the bank teller watch the video of a 1950s Abbott and Costello episode where Costello explains why 13 x 7 =28.
Idiocracy.
That check looks like it came from a child who played tic-tac-toe or wrote a love letter to mommy.
If you want to basterdize something just give it to the govt.
