Their goals are worthy ones, but they’re implementation just plain sucks.

If a ten-year old can see through this bs it speaks volumes on how stupid the adults are who came up with this garbage.

I have to learn how to write kindle books, pronto. There’s money to be made explaining this common core crap to parents.

On the practice test there was adding, multiplying, and subtracting fractions, long division, and geometry. All of these things we have not learned (or even started learning yet).

Aside from the geometry I was doing all of this at age 10.

Why aren't these kids learning basic math?

The purpose of Common Core is to destroy learning.

Common Core is a weapon of mass destruction, and its supporters should be tried for treason and crimes against humanity.

Connect the dots folks. The Obama crew deliberately crafted the Affordable Care Act to be vague so as to hoodwink us into buying into it. You don’t think they did the same with this crap? And a child saw through it. God Almighty it’s stuff like this that makes me hate Obama as I do.

WIthout knowing the details, it sounds like this segment of Common Core doesn’t match what its asking with what has been taught. On their face, some of the questions might seem reasonable, but not for a ten year old, and not for her class if she says they haven’t been taught it. What kind of exam is that?

It distresses me how devoted Jeb Bush is to this system. I’ve read articles that say the person who designed this Common Core Curriculum did so in order to shake up the order of things and remove the presumption of White Privledge.

The essential goal of “Common Core” that nobody really wants to say out loud is this:

To make all the standardized tests so confusing that white kids will do just as bad on them as black kids.

As evidence of this, watch this Common Core PSA put out by the Urban League, the racial subtext is practically dripping off it:

Their message, that “all kids come in first” really means, in practice “all kids must lose equally”, so that some kids don’t feel bad about themselves.

Home school ping.

Why would the parent of “one of the most gifted students in my grade (or so my mom says)...” allow her daughter to attend a government indoctrination center?

Right. When it takes a teacher two minutes to explain how to subtract 267 from 578, yeah!

Common Core refers to the lowest common denominator. It is meant to bring the smartest kids down to the level of the worst performing kids. This is the obama way for all of society.

Isn’t Jeb Bush a keen proponent of common core education?

Of course, his kids probably went to private school.
