The College Fix

Former Fix assistant editor Robby Soave reports for the Daily Caller:

Furious parents are taking to Twitter to explain their frustration with the new Common Core standards, posting screenshots of incomprehensible Core-aligned worksheets and tests…

With such awesome, child-appropriate wording as “How does Topic C use the array model to move the learning forward?” it’s surprising this wasn’t an English assignment. Not that it works much better as a math assignment. In any case, Common Core deems it worthy of second and third graders.

Daily Caller readers have already been introduced to this lesson on possessive nouns doubling as a authoritarian propaganda. The worksheet is intended for third graders, proving that it is never too early to learn that, “An individual’s wants are less important than the nation’s well-being.” What’s next? “Verb Tenses and Why You Love Big Brother, You Have Always Loved Big Brother,” would be a good guess…

To view images parents have uploaded from atrocious and unintelligible Common Core workbooks, check out the full story at The Daily Caller.
