One size does not fit all. I fought against Common Core Curricula at the state and federal levels for years. Students in different parts of the country have different educational needs and skill development. To compare America's students achievement scores as a whole to that of another country's is ridiculous; apples to grapes. Article compares the students' scores in America to those of Chinese students. The population in America is much more diverse in race, family unit makeup, religion and work ethics among teachers. More local control of the curriculum is needed. Students in Op, Alabama have different needs than students in Chicago, IL.

Most folks knew CC wouldn’t work in the beginning but the liberals insisted and the people in the know caved.

Common core was never designed to educate. It was designed to equalize outcomes by punishing the capable students and hold them down to the level of the least capable students.

Wait. What? You mean 2 + 2 doesn’t = 5?!?

School systems could care less about educational readiness it’s all about state money received it’s why they never fail a student no profit in it.The students who do learn do it for the most part do it on their own.
Schools are now just a dumping ground for six hours no wonder our students rate 16th in the world.

So what is she going to do about it?

Educators ignore the most basic goal of any education.

Students should study in order to make themselves more valuable.

Geeee. But that’s where it becomes complicated.

Valuable for what?

Acquiring wealth?

Managing relationships better?

Being good at those two things, together, is the fastest way to become happier.

The challenge of educators is to get students to take a personal interest in becoming valuable. Any computer is better at teaching the 3Rs.

Therefore, educators have to make learning relevant.

Otherwise learning become rote and boring. And, only the self-motivated will thrive.

We have technical means to make each students learning tailored to that student.

Some are never going to learn past a certain point, they are not losers, they are quitters. Make that OK.

Show them ways to contribute and be valuable outside of academics that they feel are irrelevant.

I hated English and composition. But I gradually realized that the better I could communicate ideas, the faster I would be more valuable.

How effective has DeVos been overall? Unless she’s totally stealth in everything she does, I don’t notice that America’s schools have improved.
