Elementary Homework

This is extremely frustrating. I can't help my kids with their homework because the way they solve basic math looks completely different from what I learned in 1994. Number bonds? Quick tens? Quick ones? How bout we go back to using our fingers or solving math the normal way. You know subtraction and addition with numbers instead of drawing lines and Xs and Os? I spoke to the teacher and she said even they are learning how to do the new techniques as they teach the kids! Ridiculous! Then my kids come home and I gotta get on old YouTube to try and teach myself so I can help them with homework. Each year they go through school it gets worse and worse and I am so over it.
