All parents remember hating homework once upon a time when they were kids, but comedian and star of “Louie” Louis C.K. took to his Twitter account Monday night to rant about the absurdity of his kids’ third grade math homework today.

“My kids used to love math,” the comedian began his rant.

My kids used to love math. Now it makes them cry. Thanks standardized testing and common core!

Frustrated with lengthy word problems and standardized tests, Louis C.K. snapped pictures of his kids’ homework problems and blamed textbook publishers for what he felt teachers were having to work harder to teach.

A huge amount of my third graders time is spent preparing for and answering questions like this. pic.twitter.com/WU5tEo8JRO

Sorry. I sit with my kids as they so their HW they devour knowledge. When it’s hard they step up. Their teachers are great

But it’s changed in recent years. It’s all about these tests. It feels like a dark time. And nothing is going in anymore.

It’s this massive stressball that hangs over the whole school. The kids teachers trying to adapt to these badly written notions.

Okay I’m done. This is just one dumb, fat parent’s POV. I’m pissed because I love NYC public schools. mice, lice and all.

Just to make sure he hadn’t ranted and ruined everyone’s nights too badly, the funnyman threw in a plug for his show to end things on a lighter note.

Ok last thing: LOUIE comes back on FX Mondays at 10pm starting May 5th. 2 episodes every night for 7 weeks. Okay bye gang.
