It’s more like “Common Whore” than Common Core.
I’m always amused by the constant crying of teach to the test. If you taught the kids how to think and solve problems, they should be able to solve any problem on the test. I have seen these tests, and especially the “graduation tests” that have been moaned about so greatly, and in my opinion, any 7th grader from “my day” should have had no problem acing it. I was obviously not “taught to the test”, and even with decades behind me and school I still find the questions laughably easy.
