PAINESVILLE, Ohio — Frustrated over the complex Common Core method of teaching math, an Ohio dad decided to take to Facebook to commiserate with fellow parents over the teaching practices.
According to FOX 8 News in Cleveland, The northeast Ohio father of two wrote a check to his child’s elementary school using controversial Common Core practices. He then snapped a picture and posted it to Facebook.
Doug Herrmann’s Facebook post has been shared thousands of times in less than a week and is now in publications across the country.
Doug told FOX 8 News in Cleveland he never actually sent the check to the school. He wrote it, snapped a picture, and tore it up.
He just wanted to prove the point on how difficult Common Core math is and how it’s nearly impossible to use it in daily living practices.
