My niece who is in 4th grade was showing me her math homework . A long division problem that did not have a remainder. I was able to look at it and determine that answer pretty easily. She showed me the amount of work she is required to do to solve that problem and I was floored. Not even kidding when I say a problem like 425/5 took her 2 pages to complete because that's how common core wants her to do it.

And yet I determined the answer was 85 without removing my eyes from your comment.
Damn. Doesn't sound like there's any shortcut involved.
Yep it's retarded
