Public schools are a 19th century paradigm that outlived its usefulness in the late 20th century. The only thing that will prevent its complete death is making it a government mandate.
So in a round-about-way, Common Core is good for education. lead’s more to homeschooling.
“Apparently, homeschoolers don’t want to be Common Cored”
We don’t, but it won’t be easy to avoid. SATs and ACTs are being aligned with Common Core and public universities are going to filter admissions based on Common Core compliance in the homeschool curriculum.
The high points of that - homeschoolers are more willing to buck the “everyone needs a college education” mentality and, as a country, we really need to return to apprenticeship programs for job training.
Like all liberal policies, commonie core comes with lots of unintentional consequences...
Thankfully one of them is Homeschooling for the lucky ones.
