So, because a lot of smart, wealthy people support this, that makes it right?  I have read the standards and looked at materials being used.  This is being driven by publishing companies.  Good idea gone bad.  Many of the standards are gibberish.[/quote]

Indeed. Common Core will make some folks a lot of money. Also will allow the government to control education once and for all. Once you change the SATs and ACTs to conform to common core, you force private schools to teach those same standards. I hope there is a continued grassroots push from innovative colleges to not require these standardized tests for admission. That will truly allow learning to flourish.

Given the number of learning disabilities, the rise in aspergers and just plain differences in learning styles, common core will destroy the self-esteem of a lot of kids who will be convinced they are stupid, and will have alternative to be shown otherwise. Very sad.[/quote]

What?  CC is a floor.  Do you want the floor lowered?  [/quote]

CC is about control, plain and simple. It's about destroying charters and private education. It's about indoctrination.[/quote]
