We will add more when we hear back. As for the 46 that have adopted it, parents are stuck scratching their heads whenever their kids need help on their math homework.

Which may or may not be a blessing to them! Even I can not explain the Common Core mathematics approach, nor get the answer correct. With their unclear phrasing and roundabout methods of solving problems, the Common Core has many parents crying out for a return to simpler times.

A frustrated dad recently posted a photo of a check he wrote out to his son’s school using Common Core-like math. Though Doug Hermann’s check was a joke, he has a point about Common Core math: it’s driving a wedge between parents and kids.

“The toughest part is the homework part because parents, it’s so hard for them”, Palermo says.

Common Core is not a curriculum – that’s for states and school districts to decide.

Jacksonville, Florida television stations picked up on the story, proclaiming, “Must-see: Mad dad slams Common Core with hilarious check to school”.

Do I want to fight my own kids to do this math in only 5th grade? It has even been published by many media outlets across the nation. Did it make you wonder how well you really knew it after all?

The check was also spotlighted on Fox News Channel’s official blog, which praised it for bringing attention to complaints about how complicated Common Core can be for young learners.

Douglas Herman, a father of two, has expressed his concern with Common Core mathematics with a now-viral Facebook post.
