Again, multiple posters are claiming this -- as it is the truth.  Where is the Common Core office, where are the people tending to these standards? There is none -- except the sham NGA.

Your precious standards are hated and are doomed. 
  
  Kids are organizing against it now:

LBUQUERQUE, N.M. —Albuquerque Public Schools has posted a letter on its website in response to more planned PARCC protests.

[b]  PARCC protest: 250 high school students walk out[/b]

Students are threatening to continue walkouts and protests when the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers standardized testing begins. In an interview Thursday, Superintendent Brad Winter addressed concerns from parents, teachers and students.

“It's the first time that PARCC has been given and there's going to be some anxiety and I know that parents are looking to opt their students out,” said Winter.

APS said 894 students have opted out of PARCC testing as of Thursday.

The school district said students who walk out and protest during school hours will be counted as an unexcused absence. APS will consider it ditching and discipline for those students will follow, and could include suspension.[/quote]
