[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Kids are hating school, begging not to go, saying they are dumb. I'm hearing it from friends all around me.[/quote]
If only we could go back in time to pre-common core times! You know, those halcyon days when every single kid across America would wake up bright and early just so happy they were going to school. When no kid would ever beg not to go to school and kds had no idea that school could be something that is hated. Where no kid ever thought they were dumb.

Common core, what have you done to our kids these last past two years?!?!? No parent ever had these problems with their kids before.[/quote]

Nice try. But these are kids -- and parents -- who liked school and whose children were doing well. Now their kids come home, humiliated and frustrated. I have one friend whose afraid her son is going to drop out he hates school so much. He tells her over and over again: "I'm dumb." I have another whose older two kids are doing great with it, but whose youngest can't fathom the way he is being taught. He's failing every test. I have another whose child -- a previous A student -- failed the NY test. So ALL her electives were stripped from her, and she spends every hour being grilled on the Common Core standards.

Still want to keep defending it?
