Jennie should learn math
#4
Was just having this conversation with a parent: Common Core seems to be responsible for teaching kids math via "word problems." Some of the examples seemed to be going to surprising lengths to avoid the use of any word implying a mathematical operation.

I wonder whether learning math as an extension of English vocabulary and syntax is more effective than the rote repetition of formulas that we had to do when I was a kid.
