Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Friday that he has officially ended Common Core in his state and outlined new standards that he says “embrace common sense.”
“When I took office, I made a pledge to the citizens of Florida to overhaul our educational standards to remove all vestiges of Common Core and return to the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic,” the Republican governor said in a press conference.
“It really goes beyond Common Core to embrace common sense.”
Conservatives have long been opponents of the controversial Common Core teaching practices, and many believe the reform harms innovation, school choice, and, ultimately, students.

This is necessary in every state in the union. Common Core and its prior siblings were in no way a competent evaluator of student success. All of this legislation looked pretty, but the real truth is that parenting cannot be legislated, and that is the real issue in testing.

A governor with common sense, unlike what we have in Maryland.
Hey, can we also toss in a "Basic Morals" class, too? Or is that axing too much?
Refreshing to see a governor with common sense.

Parenting can’t be legislated
But dumbing down the Goy so they can’t revolt against a criminal tyrannical Government can (and was) legislated
Common core was a scheme cooked up to pay large test making and text book companies to develop and implement this crap for some very large kickbacks.
