Saving a life and taking a life are 2 different things, come back when you're done with your argument from false equivalence.

Egalitarianism is the gender-neutral term for (classical) feminism... They should be ALL ABOUT switching to that term, because genders.

To be fair, Common Core refers to the standards of what a student must understand by a given grade level, this is more like a poor implementation of those standards. That being said, this BS is the most ridiculous GD thing EVER, and is reflective of the failure of US bureaucracy. Such methods might have a place in a remedial setting where the traditional approach has already failed to produce understanding. For example: I never taught to think of 8+5 as 8+2=10 then 10+3=13, that's the type of mental shortcut that I developed myself, and one which is hard to explain to someone else. So maybe only try to explain that if the student has failed to understand the standard approach.

@rosebud I'm really enjoying this so far, it's refreshing to see a voice of reason on the internet (as opposed to the usual emotional reactionism).

I would argue that diversity is merely a result of our (USA's) founding principles, which are the true source of our strength.
