Congressional D's ask for $33Billion for "Aid to Ukraine", but it must contain a pork barrel rider of $22.5B for "Covid Relief". R's demand the aid CAN NOT contain any additional Covid Relief if they want the bill to pass. So they REMOVE the excess Ukraine $22.5Billion pork, and the bill rises to $40B
$33Billion minus $22.5Billion = $40Billion
This concludes today's math lesson brought to you by your friends at the D.N.C.
If common core is the same as Singapore math, I do see it’s validity in being taught. I think the biggest problem was that the government education system did not choose to implement an entirely new math system at the start, kindergarten, and moving up from there, instead they did the dumbest thing and scrapped all Saxon across the board and shoved an entirely new math on all grade levels instantly. Same with teachers. So we had teachers and students given an entirely new designed math concept instantly, no prep, no guidance, no nothing. It was doomed from the start.
