At UC San Diego, one out of every eight incoming freshman do not meet middle school math standards

Oh, Common Core mess just caught up. Congratulations! Finally someone understands that writing essays in elementary school about why 3 greater than 1 for 2 pages and ending up with wrong reasoning while giving full credit is not the way to teach math. Surprise… I had 1 kid out of 3 coming through common core disaster. She was first year experiment. I had to teach that kid a lot of math myself. She was puzzled why my explanations worked and her teacher’s did not… DD had so many holes that it was Hercules efforts to get her to 720 in Math in SAT. Well guess what? Not everyone can pay private tutors and not everyone has mom who used to be Math major years ago… Welcome to Curriculum 2.0/Common Core reality…
