Why are people so upset about Common Core?

I'm a teacher and a Common Core supporter. Common Core standards are so much better than the former MD state standards (especially in reading and writing) that I am thankful they have been adopted as quickly as they have been. I am much happier using Common Core standards in my lesson planning than I was making do with the former MD state standards (aka voluntary curriculum) and I am seeing my own children receiving much better assignments this year (especially in writing.)

South Carolina and Oklahoma have pulled out of Common Core.

For those who like the standards, best check the implementation. Some of the materials are just plain wrong - deliberately so. That, on it's own, should ring alarm bells.

I did. I posted three links for you. My post was deleted. Fair and balanced...

Could you explain what was in the links.

Weird I read the PP's example and although I thought it was biased in a typical FOX way it was relevant and shouldn't have been deleted. I then posted specific exples of similarly biased statements that I encountered pre CCSS as a rebuttal and they are now gone.

Jeff says in other threads he doesn't recognize tyranny. Lolol

Indoctrination like this and the desire to change history infiltrated the schools before Common Core, that's true. Common Core standardizes it, tests it, and uses it as a basis for higher education by tying in the SATS/ACTS.

Huh? Common Core does none of those things.

Since the two of us (I'm the PP above) posted pretty much opposite examples (e.g. mine was an example of a conservative leaning lesson from before the CCSS), I'm not sure which one would be "tyranny".

The Common Core Standards are too vague, were rushed in, so this is creating a lousy foundation to build on. The implementation is sloppy -- because it was rushed along with the standards -- and all over the map. The testing is proving that even though who THINK they are teaching the standards are actually not teaching what the standards intended. Hence, the massive failure rates.

Really? Check the board.

The question is, which was factual. The ones I posted were definitely not.

It's not about how it leaned, it's about re-writing the truth.

I'm totally confused.

You posted something that was definitely not factual? Are you the poster who provided the links earlier that I am saying should not have been removed? If so, what do you mean by they weren't factual? Are you saying that the links were not factual as in that the worksheets they discussed never existed or were manufactured by FOX news, or that the links weren't factual because they were essentially editorials? Or are you saying that the sentences in the worksheets discussed in the link were factually incorrect?

I also have no idea what "it's not about how it learned" means. Can you clarify?

The facts regarding what the president's job is were incorrect. They simply were. Example: The President's job is not to make sure laws are enforced. That is the Judicial Branch's job. That's one example. To put this as an English assignment, guising it with a 'correct the sentence" (grammatically) is just wrong as well.
