Teaching to make 10s was never connected to common core, and as a proof should be sufficient, that we both use that system. It is intuitive, and was always thought.

@applejack
No, we do not agree on even the premise. You say, that teaching the understanding of numbers is the point of common core.

Meanwhile, I say, that the point of common core is total systematization to the point, where a deeper understanding cannot be gained.

> This is the right way to solve any kind of problem

See? Here comes the problem. We were tought, that the simplification of the issue is importand, and that as long as you can orient yourself around the issue, you are golden.

That is the exact oposite though of this. This is a rigid system made to be as robotic as counting individual dots. No understanding can be gained from that.

@applejack
And sorry, but I am unironically triggered by kids having to draw 13 dots, and adults looking at it thinking, that it's giving them a deeper understanding of the number 13.

@applejack
Because that is not, what is being done. When you showed me the example, I also did make 10s in mmy head. Obviously, that is the superior method.

So, you can clearly understand, that the understanding of the making 10s was not locked behind the common core.

The point actually seems to be to delay the abstraction of numbers from objects into digits. You do know, that the number 13 represents ............. but it's easier, faster and less prone to mistakes, when you can write 2 symbols instead of 17. This also delays the point, where kids actually start thinking about the abstract systeems instead of thinkking about this long and complicated process.

YES, I SAID IT. The common core is more systematic and less abstract, then the old way. Therefore, it will lead to lesser understanding of why abstraction is useful.

The only thing that scares me more about the future of our childern then the "new math" are the NPCs unironically defending it by saying, that it gives the kids better and deeper understanding of ADDITION.

If your kid has a problems understanding the number 7, and you need him to draw 7 lines, he's either retarded, or so insanely under-educated that you can just send him to Africa at this point.

Oh, and you all enlightened doctors seriously still do not understand the fucking issue?

You guys literally never offer us only advice on prevention and laugh when we try to hold our lives together before coming to the pill dispenser with phd.

Why even go to a doctor, when their advice is either "take a pill to postpone the decay" or "have you tried going outside"?

@tomie
Might be, but I am just so tired of her already.
I want to see literally anyone but her for the next 10 DC movies.

@tomie
I might be some basic bitch, but they totally got me on the leg leafs...

Where do I buy these? How much?

@tomie
Only the face needs some holywood level magic that I just don't see yet.

But I have to give them applause for daring to reference Batman forever with this design.

@tomie
I mean, the legs are 85% there already, so what would happen if you took a knife and added just a little bit of texture to these leafs?

@tomie
They did take the correct base model, but an incorrect artstyle. Also, the crossbow is just lame.

But I am terrified of what some Warhammer magicians are going to do with it.

@LukeAlmighty they can't prosecute me if they proudly denounced doing business with my country first
