We need to go back to the way education was before all this nonsense.

The only thing Common Core teaches is how to pass a Common Core test.

This nonsense called common core needs to be removed from our schools. It's ridiculous that it takes 30 steps for a 2 step math problem. Stop making our children dumber!

This is making no sense, it only causes confusion with the students and especially with the parents trying to help them with their homework . Its not the correct way to teach them!

I hate common core. It just sets kids up to fail. There is no way they would be able to make it in college or the real world. Please make it stop

When your 3rd grade children know the actual answers to all the multiplication questions on a test due to parents teaching times tables but your child scores low c's because their arrays are wrong there is a definite peoblem. Let me say I am open to knew ways of learning but this is no way to learn , is completely ridiculous and unrealistic in the real world and business. Why are we frustrating and confusing our children unnecessarily?

It's just strange. Makes no sense. Confuses the kids & parents can't help. Takes twice as long & don't think they'll need it in the future!

We need this gone now. If mathematicians and engineers find this confusing and ridiculous, why should we inflict this garbage on children?

We as parents have the rigt to decide what we want taught to our children. This common core math is a joke. Why all of this work ! Why change something that worked for so many years ??

I do not believe in this method, don't understand it myself as an adult, it's not useful. It's for the most part the most useless thing I have seen taught this day in school.

Other states were able to go back to the "Old Fashion Way," all schools in Illinois should be able to also. This Common Core Math is ridiculous!

Ridiculous. A kid that had straight A's now failing math. And a teacher with 30 years experience trying to explain that it is Common Core, Get rid of this crap.

Why would my child to learn something that even a college graduate cannot comprehend. There was nothing wrong with the old way. I can do everyday activities without having to use common core. I use common sense. I hope my signature helps. My kids are just now starting school and I do not want them to struggle because I am unable to help them.

I'm a liberal but as progressive as I am from what I can see this stuff is mind-numbing.

Please teach my kids the way we were taught at school. Common core is wasting our tax money.
