This Common Core math problem asks kids to write the ‘friendly’ answer, instead of the correct one!

Friendly problems / Twitter screenshot and Paint

Absolutely insane!

A second grader’s answers to a Common Core-aligned math worksheet were marked as incorrect because they weren’t “friendly” enough… even though they were the right answers.

A screenshot of the worksheet was posted to Twitter. The teacher wrote that even though the questions — addition and subtraction problems — were solved correctly, the student used the wrong technique to arrive at the answers. (You should use the quickest technique, ignoramus.)

    That's the government trying to retrain people to think so they are more easily controlled! Lol!
