Common Core Math

Hi! Just trying to figure out if this is just simply confused parents who need to get with the times or beyond a child's reasoning ability.
Question for math teachers: Does Common Core Math actually help kids understand math better or is it just confusing them more? I sometimes feel that the abstract concepts they are asking of elementary kids is not suitable for concrete learners, like metaphor.
Is it the same for math at that level? And how's it going at the middle and high school level?

(This post is just for curiosity sake.)
