Ah, the naive Maryland parents, who have their heads in the sand about the Common Core testing sledgehammer about to hit their kids next year.

In every state where they have started with Common Core testing, the children are failing miserably. In Kentucky, that's been year after year. Yes, they've been taught Common Core for more than two years, and more than half the kids can't pass the tests.

That's what's in store for you and your kids.

Year after year, in Kentucky? You mean the spring of 2012 and the spring of 2013? I guess that is literally year after year.

Also, you can interpret half the students failing as a sign that the Common Core standards are bad. But I think that a likelier explanation is that the schools in Kentucky need to improve.[/quote]

Keep that thought in mind when your children fail next year. [/quote]
