Honestly you should just remove them from the school and move them into independent study. Their are so many wonderful opeitunoties when you take over completely. My little brother is going to graduate school a year early because my parents moved him out of a public school. Had they done this years ago he would already out. Additionally he is super conservative and already taking college classes in high school.
they "decrease" the difficulty by increasing the number of steps. They do things like (13x17); multiply 10x10=100 then 3x7=21 then 7x10 then 3x10. 21+100+30+70=221.
Basically the idea is memorize the process that let's you use addition and only a 10x math table to do everything.
On the other hand, you could use the brain to, you know, learn how to do harder things.
I was taught this, I was not taught common core. Multiplication can boil down to addition and a n×10 times table. I realized I could break it down further to a n×5 table with n×10, because of what I learned with factoring.
I was under the impression that common core forced students into lengthy drawings for counting, encouraging close but not exact answers, and doing away with times tables entirely. There's probably more, but this alone is terrible.
Edit; I misunderstood, you're saying they changed the multiplication process entirely. That's pretty bad too.
You can home-school your kids in the exact way with a more thorough curriculum. https://www.abeka.com/ You stream the classes straight from the web, and tutors are available to assist when needed. Oh and you can't even progress from one grade to the next unless you pass Bible history classes each year. No common core, Civics and US history without the WOKE left leaning garbage. give it a look, my brother pulled his kids, and put them in abecka for 3k a year. That's for 3 kids. We have always home-schooled our kids. It's the best thing you can ever do for them besides raising them in a christian home. Oh and they are only in school 4 hours a day, and still learn more than they will from public school.

As if kids aren't being forced to learn in school.
I'm putting up with my school system's half-hearted attempts and have been supplementing my kid's learning at home. He does need the time with other kids. But I am starting to feel like I remember why I thought school was a waste of time as a kid.
Co-Op system home schooling. Each parent in a network of families takes turns. My buddy was in a coop, his dad, an engineer, was the science and math teacher one day a week.
Time with other kids could also be something like church obviously, but also martial arts, team sports, etc. School is probably one of the least valuable environments in terms of socializing.
This is the the incarnation of good right here, folks. May your daughter be blessed with the beautiful wisdom of our forefathers and predecessors 🙏🏻

If you are interested in some of the absolutely stunning opportunities that exist PM me and I would be more than happy to fill you in!
Will anyone here defend the weird common core math?
Seems stupid to me but maybe it's good?

Oh maybe? Idk. Im just going off of some multiplication problem I saw.

When people discover how bad school actually is... they almost immediately lose their fear of homeschooling their kids.
IT IS NOT HARD PEOPLE. DO IT.
Oh, that's poetic.
How's that crow taste, bitch?
you don't sayyy......
I like the byline from the article he's quoting:
