An Ohio father’s illegible check using long-form Common Core math to his son’s elementary school has gone viral.

Instead of just writing out a figure in the right-hand box, Doug Herrmann drew a puzzle-like series of X’s and O’s, and then “wrote out” the amount in the same fashion.

According to Cleveland.com, the check was written by Herrmann, but never actually sent to the school.

The controversial Common Core curriculum is used in 46 states, while Indiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma and South Carolina refusing to adopt it, Fox News reports.
