My 6th grade son came home with math homework last week. They had to convert oz to pounds, cm to meters, miles to feet, etc. The way he had to write his "problem solving steps" down where SO CONFUSING that we couldn't help him (although we understand the converting part. The way they want it is WACKED!).
Today, he came home with math homework on converting percentages to fractions & decimals. I asked him if they were done with measurements. He said the ENTIRE class failed their test on Friday and his teacher didn't know what to do, so she decided to skip this chapter 'till later.

This is how Common Core is hurting our students in TN
Parents, contact your elected officials and tell them common core is not good for TN.
