if they can dumb down their base even more it helps the cause

The next generation will fall in line much easier

I can not believe what is being taught at public schools now days and I am SICK of spending my whole summer having to teach what should be covered in the school year but is not and by that I mean basic reading, writing and arithmetic!!!
Last grade school spelling list came home with misspelled words..... and I do not blame the teacher these templates are handed to them they have no control.
2 grades of teachers expressing the dislike for the present math curriculum when I questioned what is going on with the math at basic grade level school and they are not teaching basic needs for later life ...like how to add or divide in one or two steps
My daughter was doing an equation like 96 / 12 or something with just 2 digits...and some number like 536 came up and was used as part of the work done by her to get the answer in front of me at home.
536 should never be part of the math formula for what is 96 divided by 12
