At this point, I believe it is more of a political stance, than a true disconnect in understanding. Parents automatically shut down, and allow for their children to do so as well when instruction is not "the old fashioned way". What are so tips on opening parents up to new ways of thinking? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I always tell parents that I will introduce several methods for solving problems. I leave it up to the students to choose the one that is most comfortable for them. I also inform parents to expect writing from every subject area, including math!                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This solution failed explain to parents the reason why common core was implemented and how students will benefit learning the new standards. I think the teacher has great ideas, such as allowing students to choose which math solution they are ore comfortable with using.

This is a tough situation.

The students need to learn the correct way that common core teaches them.

You first have to classify that Common Core isn't scary it's just Standards you as the teacher has to go by. Try providing them with information before scaring the parents.
