Mine read it like William Shatner

That sounds tasty

Thank

Who's Mr. Downvoty?

I said work harder AND smarter, but okay, and if you think learning to think critically in any aspect doesn't help you in life then also okay

The principles part had more to do with the "work harder, not smarter" part, but it does help them think more critically, make more connections, make better decisions, which ultimately makes them a better person, rather than it just being about getting good grades

We want kids to learn to think critically

But it's not the same result, for one, not in this situation at least, and two, to have that principle means that you're always gonna be looking for an easy way out, yes, sometimes there are easier ways with the same result, but we should be already ready to work hard as fuck if there's not, in this situation the result of common core is that in the future these kids will be more logical thinkers, so let's have them work hard so they can have better principles, working harder and not just working smarter (yes I still think we should work smarter) creates a better foundation, which is what children need

This is working smarter, it'll help them in the future to do the problems of the in there head such as a bunch of people have said on these comments, school isn't supposed to just be easy so the kids can get good grades, it's supposed to prepare them for the future, the future is hard, and that whole "work smarter, not harder" thing is bullshit, work smarter and harder and maybe we'll get more shit done

I really appreciate this explanation, I feel like people who seem to actually hate the "new way" are just put off by not understanding it, or it not being traditional, but it'll make this next generation better for it

Hyuck! Garsh!

You can still do anything!
