The comedian Louis C.K., father of two daughters, tweeted his disgust and bewilderment with Common Core standards throughout the day Monday.
Unlike some of his bluer comedy, the tweets are approved for all audiences.
My kids used to love math. Now it makes them cry. Thanks standardized testing and common core!

C.K. also twitpic’d questions from his third grader’s math worksheet.
A huge amount of my third graders time is spent preparing for and answering questions like this. pic.twitter.com/WU5tEo8JRO

The balloon question set him off so much that he said he was encouraging his kid to stage an academic mini-revolt.
“Why night you want each picture to stand for more than 1 balloon?”
Yet again I must tell my kid “don’t answer it. It’s a bad question”

And, true to Louis, if you challenge him, he will fight back.
@louisck because they are all multiples of 3.

@ShutterbugLee Well I guess that’s one possible answer. You must be in the fourth grade.
