[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Common Core is totally untested. In states that have been using it and testing with it, like New York and Kentucky, about 70 percent of kids fail the standardized tests. They simply don't understand what they've been taught. When you factor in race or any kind of disability, the failure rate skyrockets. It's very language intensive, so if your child is a slow reader or has any other kind of language based learning disability, they're just screwed. I was talking to a mom in another state. In her daughter's 6th grade class, out of 31 students, 23 failed. [/quote] Is it possible common core is just exposing that your children are not as advanced as you assumed?[/quote] Arne Duncan, is that you? [/quote]
