This goes under the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot category.
Remember how you were taught in school how to add a series of numbers? Remember how you were told to write each set of numbers on top of each other, to stack them so you could then add them together to get a total?I don't know about you, but after the first 30 seconds I wanted to find the teacher and punch him or her out. And we are suppose to train these children to be the engineers, doctors and scientists of the future. Really?
Kids aren’t taught that any more. In fact, the system of “cubes, sheets, sticks and dots” they are taught now is so convoluted, involved and confusing that it often results in wrong answers. But correct answers isn’t the goal for today’s fetid school systems. “The process” is all that is cared about.

These are unionized teachers perpetrating this crime on our kids, folks.
Remember that.

So sad, ain't it?
What amazes me is that this child can still think clearly enough, after such teaching, to understand where the fault is most likely to lie - with the bigger, more complicated system. Kudos to her and to her Mom, who obviously cares enough to make sure her child can do basic math.
Thanks for posting it.
