It's geared towards not teaching children how to think forwardly. Here's a quote from a proponent of CC-<br /><br />“Mastery of Algebra II is widely thought to be a prerequisite for success in college and careers. Our research shows that that is not so… Based on our data, one cannot make the case that high school graduates must be proficient in Algebra II to be ready for college and careers. The high school mathematics curriculum is now centered on the teaching of a sequence of courses leading to calculus that includes Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. However, fewer than five percent of American workers and an even smaller percentage of community college students will ever need to master the courses in this sequence in their college or in the workplace… they should not be required courses in our high schools. To require these courses in high school is to deny to many students the opportunity to graduate high school because they have not mastered a sequence of mathematics courses they will never need. In the face of these findings, the policy of requiring a passing score on an Algebra II exam for high school graduation simply cannot be justified.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-2584156760329812712013-09-09T22:35:57.683-04:002013-09-09T22:35:57.683-04:00i don't know...the kid is 9 and in the 2nd gra...i don't know...the kid is 9 and in the 2nd grade?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-47142312458632863622013-09-09T20:54:43.912-04:002013-09-09T20:54:43.912-04:005:47

I don't like Common Core and the gov't intrusion it represents, but I'm having a hard time finding anything concrete. Please help me so I can better make this point with more parents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-3040557527605013942013-09-09T17:47:11.224-04:002013-09-09T17:47:11.224-04:00Common core is an agenda to brainwash children jus...Common core is an agenda to brainwash children just like the communist did.

She meant it as a vote of confidence for public education not a celebration of ignoring her child's learning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-47816462855413806622013-09-09T13:56:38.237-04:002013-09-09T13:56:38.237-04:00"i sent my kids to public school so i wouldnt..."i sent my kids to public school so i wouldnt have to worry about what they were learning", as quoted by mom in blog.<br /><br />really? nice way to totally let go, and now be resentful that you have to get involved in YOUR child's education. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
