It’s not working. The math test score is trending steeply downward. I’ll be stepping in.

My Wife, a Reading Specialist for the City of Anaheim Elementary school district here in California, states the following:

1. Common Core is universally despised by ALL of the teachers.
2. All references to the founding of our country have been removed and replaced with the grievances experienced by various "minorities"
3. The amount of busy work, or the load put on their shoulders has increased to the point of breaking almost all of the teachers, especially those that care about doing a good job.
4. She, and the other teachers, give it no more than 3 years before it fails like all of the other fad education crap that has been foisted on Education here in the US.

one more thing...

She has been told by those managing the Common Core process in her district that it will probably take somewhere around 13 years of failure before you start seeing success with type of program.

Your kids are screwed if you are relying on the Public School system to adequately educate your children.

Sounds like the Operational Manual for every Czar, Obamacare, and Dept Head in Obama's WH, and everything in his Administration.

Like Common Core, this will all Freeze up and be lunched, like an engine run without oil...
