Be wary though if your state or locality make a decision to drop common core. The replacement is often common core dressed up with a different name.

Actually, I reviewed Massachusetts's version as part of a research project, I think it is called Mass Core or something like that.

It wasn't bad. It focused on American and British classics and what I call "founding documents" of our history. I was surprised. In a good way.

As a former teacher, I can tell you that the standards mean far less than how the teacher in the classroom implements (or does not implement) them.

My objection is that states adopted the Common Core standards under a bribe/coercion.

That’s the game the GOPe-RINO politicians and their supporting media outlets like Fox News and the talk show hosts, websites want to sell you.

Look we want to repeal Obamacare, Common Core etc. etc. and ‘replace’ it.

That the ‘detail with the devil in it’.
