[quote=Anonymous]As a matter of fact, the state of Virginia did not adopt the common core standards so no county in Virginia follows it.

My opinion on it is mixed.  I think people don't understand what it is and all the crap you see posted online today ranting about "common core math" and how ridiculous it is is a load of shit posted by people who don't understand math.  They also don't seem to understand that common core is not a curriculum but a set of standards.  The curriculum is up to the individual states and counties.

My understanding is that the standards are not developmentally appropriate (at least at the elementary level) and that that is where the biggest complaints seem to come from.  Plus, it was pushed through too hastily by people who didn't have the education or background necessary to be making those decisions.  I do know that there's a lot of states backing out...

I don't have any firsthand experience with the standards since we don't follow them here in Virginia.  I am basing my comments on all the stuff I've read about them.[/quote]
