This is a great article and it tells how Common Core, a wolf in sheep's clothing, was brought into our states.  The states were desparate for money, so they bought in -- most of them before the standards have even been written. Because how bad could they be, right?

To the Common Core supporters, you have repeatedly failed to show how this will help our students one iota. This package of standards is completely unproven, and yet you are on your knees worshiping it as though it was brought down from the heavens on stone tablets.

Nobody is worshipping the Common Core standards.

Meanwhile, the Common Core opponents have repeatedly failed to explain what "proven" would entail, and whether any other standards are "proven" at a level that meets their approval.

Also, it's a myth that the states adopted the standards before they were written. If you want to prove your claim, please provide the dates that each Common Core-adopting state adopted the Common Core standards.[/quote]

Former education commissioner blasts Common Core process — update
[b]My experience with the Common Core actually started when I was asked to sign on to them before they were written. … I was told I needed to sign a letter agreeing to the Common Core, and I asked if I might read them first, which is, I think, appropriate.  I was told they hadn’t been written, but they still wanted my signature on the letter. [/b][/quote]
