The diversity of opinion related to topics as simple as 1+2 that exists here has made me realize how much of what runs through people's heads is complete and utter bullshit.
Gifts are praised and spit on. All logic is out the window. People open their mouths without analyzing the information they are disputing.
All opinions have selfish intent at their core. A sad world indeed.
GaleWinUnleashed1 votes1 + 2 = 4.
Everyone knows that, and you can't possibly convince me otherwise =P
Space Bum1 votesI wouldn't actually doubt there is something in "the common core" that says that is true.
GaleWinUnleashed2 votesIs this approximately what you mean?
Space Bum1 votesGood one. So glad I didn't have to deal with that garbage when I was in school.
GaleWinUnleashed1 votes"Here's the answer. Now, use this excessively complex method to reach the wrong answer instead. Congratulations, you've learned how to do math!"
Daen1 votesTechnically our way of performing mathematical calculations is just as inefficient as common core compared to some of the math constructs used in India. Multiplication of ten digit numbers can be done in your head with that stuff, it's absurd.
Space Bum1 votesYes but on several occasions I've seen answers from common core problems come way out of left field. Those Indian answers are probably the same as with Western standard math, just more efficient.
Space Bum1 votesI really want to be there when someone uses that stuff on something work related and has to explain why shit went wrong.
