[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are touring schools and the principal at one told us that the education field has moved away from standards and to common core. He said their private school offers a more traditional approach to education. First of all, I thought standards based education = common core? Isn’t the idea that there is a national set of standards, albeit pretty low ones, that make up the common core in public schools? Second, what does traditional mean, I assume it means textbooks, spelling lists, and learning from a teacher rather than inquiry based learning technology and apps. This is one of the first schools we have looked at so far so we are new to all this. [/quote] "Common core" is a euphemism for "poor education". If you looked at the garbage teachers are pushed to teach (not so much the content, but the methods) then you will understand why it is garbage and why overall test scores and abilities have dropped nationwide since its inception.
