Nate Bargatze Breaks Down the Horror of Modern Math Homework

Nate Bargatze broke down the horror of modern math homework. The popular funnyman is not the biggest fan of his daughter’s homework, specifically the mathematics kind. Watch the clip to hear Nate’s hysterical complaints about how math homework is now expected to be performed and completed.

When it comes to school, not everyone was the biggest fan. For some people, school was a daily struggle, while others breezed through school effortlessly, without putting in little to no effort. Surprisingly, some individuals could achieve As or Bs without studying or even cracking open the textbook. Others would have to put in quite a bit of work even to achieve a C.

Even if school as a whole was a piece of cake, likely there were still a subject or two that gave you fits. For me, the subject that consistently provided me with headaches and made my life worse was math. Seriously, every other subject throughout school was a breeze, but when it came to math, that was a totally different story. So, when Nate complains about his daughter’s math homework, I understand entirely, and I bet a lot of other people do as well.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Nate mentioned how math is taught today and how it is expected to be completed. Who really uses numbers anyway, right? I mean, unless you’re doing a lot of everyday functions and tasks that require numbers and mathematical functions.

“She brought home Common Core math,” he said. “That’s fun. It’s a new math they invented. No heads up, just give it to parents who never learned it.”

Later in the clip, Nate explained to the audience the specific end goal of this new kind of mathematical system.

“And the goal of Common Core is to use one sheet of paper for every problem,” he said. “You just want to keep breaking the problem down. You put the problem at the top, and it just keeps going.”

Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge; but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.”
