[quote=Anonymous] The substantive argument against Common Core is that it is failing our children. The teachers don't truly understand the standards, so the children aren't really learning them. It was rushed out and the curriculum materials don't support the learning very well. The tests are designed to fail most children, and because teacher's salaries and jobs are tied to testing results, they will be desperate for success and do anything to achieve it. NCLB has already proven this -- putting more and more children into special education, finding ways to cheat and skew the test results. Subject experts say the Common Core standards are not property benchmarked. Teachers are fleeing the schools, more and more parents are homeschooling. Failure is already all over Common Core.
