Teachers and parents are not giving high marks to Common Core, according to a series of new polls which show [b]widespread dissatisfaction with the national curriculum standards in the first months of widespread implementation[/b].

[b]A poll released last week by Gallup, which is conducting an extensive series of surveys on Common Core, found that nearly two-thirds of public school teachers have concerns about the program[/b], which is designed to implement a national math and English learning baseline for all participating states. An earlier survey, conducted as part of the same project, found that 44 percent of teachers view Common Core negatively.

"[b]The national polling data reveals more bad news for the Common Core because 60 to 65 percent of America's teachers are either 'frustrated' or 'worried' by it[/b], only 20 percent of teachers are 'enthusiastic', and 44 percent of teachers now view Common Core 'negatively', Jamie Gass director of the Center for School Reform at the Boston-based think tank, Pioneer Institute said to FoxNews.com.[/quote]
