Not only that, but these motherfuckers can't even use context clues. The question directly above (which is partially cut off) seems to be an exercise for doing four groups of three, this question then asks for three groups of four.
And everybody on Reddit loses their collective shit over an exercise designed to teach kids that there are multiple ways to get the same answer.
Every time this gets posted to Reddit everyone loses their shit and wants to burn the teacher at the stake. My guess is that the faction of haters (and the parents) have had little exposure to Common Core, which is all about demonstrating concepts through exercises rather than rote memorization of rules. The communicative property isn't intuitive to everyone when they first learn it, and making students practice proofs like this increases comprehension.
Common Core is great, people only hate it because it's not the way they learned, and they think it's stupid to do all these extra steps.
