When will we remove this atrocity from academics?
Who is to blame for creating this stupid system that restricts proper thinking?

In my country teachers study at the same universities as regular masters (I'm in the last few months of physics). You kind of get an impression of what the average teacher is capable of and holy shit it's embarrassing. The problem I think really is that nobody gives a shit about teaching any longer. It's poorly paid, features no authority any longer and nobody respects it. As a consequence the people who go for it are usually the people who simply don't know what else to do. And that's exactly the impression you get from those people. They are just fucking idiots. They don't know what they are doing and they really don't give a shit. It doesn't even help that their whole schedule is dumbed down as hell, they suck at it anyway. I really wonder what those people could know about education, especially about good education for good students.
Common core is the proof that it's apparently not much.

People who want to confuse the populace and keep them ignorant and stupid. People who can't think for themselves are easier targets for consumerism.

It doesn't say show how 8+5=10 because that would indeed be absurd and worthy of criticism. It does say show how WHEN adding 8+5 how to make 10. The emphasis behind common core is to teach certain algorithms of thought to less intelligent students who may not naturally form them like their more intelligent counterparts.

The problem is that we do not teach set theory to children and therefore they can't do mathematics.
Before our modern times, mathematics was built on intuition by comparable idiots like Euclid and Newton. I call them idiots because even though they were right, their theory did not use set theory which makes it wrong.
What does this mean for children? That ONLY those with natural mathematics intuition can succeed in mathematics. This is why we see such a huge divide between children, even at a young age. Some just seem to get it and some just seem to be retarded.
And this is all true, but in the 21st century we have overcome that. Sure, not everyone could have invented calculus like Newton did, but today. TODAY. With Set Theory? Even a retard could build calculus from the bottom.
Set Theory is the final and most powerful tool of mathematics. It is the one that allows us to see beyond our universe.
Teach 5 year olds set theory in really informal ways. Tell them that a set is a box and that box has objects. Then teach them counting in relation to the cardinality of a set.
If you have a box with 5 distinct objects then you can use that box to identify the counting number 5.
Teach them addition and everything as operations on boxes (not in the traditional way, something without apparent axioms and logic so that even a child can get it) and then let them run wild.
Within a year, news would come out that a 10 year old solved the Riemann Hypothesis and that he claims it was too easy and therefore declined the million dollars.

The major problem people have with common core is that it is teaching children the shortcuts of math before they understand it. As weel, they are learning to do math they should learn to do in their head, on paper. When you do it on paper, its absurdly disorganized and requires a lot of hoops to jump through to reach a conclusion.
8+5=13
No it
5 - 3 = 2
2 + 8 = 10
10 + 3 = 13
Can you see why adding 4+ digit numbers becomes a book keeping game instead of doing real math?

what are the advantages of teaching kids that way?
