Dem voters. That’s the Goal. Parents allow this.
Given the emphasis in common core on social justce as opposed to actual skills and knowledge these students should be the best prepared for college as it is today.
A lot of retired teachers and frustrated parents are now saying: “See? I told you so!!”
Jeb! still supports Common Core.
No big deal. If Pocahontas is elected it will all be free anyways.
But texting skills have skyrocketed.
And yet, Obama would maybe be elected AGAIN because, you know, he was going to save the country.....stop the rise of the oceans, etc. He just didn’t have enough time (to destroy the country really).
Leftists will never acknowledge a reality that doesn’t fit their constructed world. I know a teacher, he’s an old guy like me, FAR leftist. I’d say he is a communist. We were visiting a common friend, common core came up, he was glowing in his endorsement.
Not surprised that Asian students are still increasing their test scores, despite Common Core’s best efforts. Has anyone at the NEA actually seen a Common Core math book? It makes things like multiplying a 3 digit number by a 1 digit number WAY more complicated than it needs to be.
Easy fix. If the education mafia doesn’t like the results, just change the reporting standards.
Sometimes I think that the Commies had the right idea when they shoot those responsible for such debacles. Not one of these filthy criminal DoEduc educrats will suffer the slightest penalty.
Homeschooled kids are no doubt crushing these ill-prepared kids.
I guess, as long as they feel “safe” and “woke”, none of the rest really matters, right?

Federal government has no business monkeying around in K-12.
You might as well say the first generation of students who got a smartphone at age 11 - that is probably more significant than the curriculum.
“New Math” and “Look Say reading” produced generations of poor heads full of mush.
The US is ripening for invasion. Maybe I’ll take over first.
Yes, Common Core is bad - but the problem is not Common Core but rather the false beliefs that led to its creation in the first place.
In America, there is a widespread belief that if student outcomes are divergent that “the system is broken”.
Since divergent outcomes are caused by nature and not by methodology, and since divergent outcomes are documented and tracked more intensively than they have ever been, and since they have persisted despite “new math” and everything that has followed - the demand for, and velocity of, experimentation have continued to grow.
The “problem” that educational innovations are designed to fix - inequality of outcome - are not fixable. Not with money, not with buildings, not with breakfast, not with programs - not at all.
My late grandmother taught in NYC Public for 55 years starting in 1911. Her take on outcomes: “Somebody’s gotta clean the subways”.
Too bad they can’t put her in charge.
