Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday he will get rid of Common Core in the state and wants to have parents and teachers help implement a revised set of standards in 2020.
“Common Core has failed teachers, parents, and our children,” DeSantis wrote on Twitter Thursday. “That’s why I am issuing an Executive Order to eliminate Common Core in Florida. We will streamline standardized testing, make civics a priority in schools and increase the literacy rate.”
Common Core aimed to establish high academic standards in K-12 English and math.
Critics of Common Core said it was too rigid, confusing teaching methods for parents and takes away control from locals, according to Fox 13. DeSantis wants to implement a new plan, with the input of parents and teachers, in 2020.

Well the first thing you have to do is get rid of teachers unions and teachers that try to indoctrinate their students with liberal left wing socialist policies that have never worked for anybody. A good education should always include history and a strong look at past mistakes so they can be avoided in the future. Right now I think civics classes should be talking about what is happening in Venezuela.
