for the MILLIONTH time /pol/ common core is not a specific plan handed down from some central office but simply a broad directive of which teachers are left to their own devices in an attempt to adhere to

furthermore if you're truly stumped by those meme images you find on Facebook about common core you're a mathlet

>I'll never use math!
What's up with that anti-intellectualism, you'll never use anything you learn on high school and a good proportion of things you learn in primary school. Go bug english or something, I've never used that.

school needs to be like 3 hours a day and cover math and reading/writing.

with those two tools, kids can figure everything else out on their own via the internet. think about what you actually needed to know in order to successfully get through your first year of college. its not much. if thats where we are trying to get kids to, then there is no fucking reason for kids to be in a classroom fro 8 hours a day, 9 months out of the year for 12 years.

I don't give a fuck about American """"""education""""""

>nearly impossible math

school has 3 primary purposes
>instill in people a respect for authority and the ability to do repetitive laborious busywork so that as adults they will be able to do such work for 40+ years for an employer
>instill a sense of patriotism to ensure that they will do that work in this country and not in some other country, and so that they will be more likely to participate in wars
>convince them that school is an absolute requirement if you are to get anywhere in life and instill a groupthink mentality so that they will never challenge the system that is in place

Go back to sleep O'Brien.

>he doesn't know school is basically daycare for deranged hormonal teenagers

It's to create a pool of workers that can become technicians, engineers, and scientists that can drive the high tech USA economy that produces the most advanced weapons and has personnel competent enough to operate them.

Elite schools produce people who become managers that run the central planning apparatus that is the financial sector. Many scientists are brought into this sector to provide further efficiency.

Artists and "freethinkers" are used to generate propaganda and present the information of the technocrats in a form that is politically useful. These people also provide data on human capital that can be used as parameters to inform decisions. This last tier is the most expendable yet in a democratic society is the most useful.

Citizens that don't fit into any of these categories are used as future organ donors, sustained through the welfare state while alive as they provide minimal products compared to other citizens.
