As for math, Common Core Math is more in line with how math was taught pre-progressive education. Common Core Math does teach math facts but with mental math being stressed, therefore children today are being taught the logic behind arithmetic. The reason some homeschool parents are giving up on Common Core Math is because they were just taught to memorize arithmetic facts rather than truly understanding the logic behind math. Other programs like Hillsdale and Kolbe use Singapore Math because they have realized that it is preparing kids way better than post-progressive math fact memorization. Common Core isn't right for every subject, but it is excellent for math. Cheryl Lowe may have gotten Latin right, but I respectfully disagree about her approach to arithmetic.

Actually there is far more Greek in certain areas like names of Dinos. It's time to get Hellenized...
