I won't claim to have read all 18 pages of this thread because, well....gawddamn. I think one complaint to common core is what we run into here in Virginia. Virginia doesn't do Common Core because we have a similar system called Standards of Learning. The problem with SoL (poo poo outta luck) is that the SoLs dictate what is taught, no more and no less. Teachers here in VA teach to the SoLs and after that they give up. You're not getting ahead, you're not learning new things. You get SoL and that's that. SoLs control funding and school accreditation. How your school performs on these tests is all anyone cares about. Little Johnny will be a poet but sucks at math? He's an idiot and threatens the well being of the rest of the school. These sorts of educational standardization really does just produce standardization. Instead of this becoming the minimum acceptable level of educational performance it's the whole and complete target.
