Incorrect....Congress just passed and Obama signed a law removing any incentives for states to use Common Core standards. The idiots have won!...
The People have won.
Why-in-the-world would we want to "dumb-down" the disciplines taught by good schools, and substitute metaphorical ebonics across the board?
To level the playing field?
Phukk that.
If a school district is under-performing, let it raises its own standards, rather than dragging the rest of the area down with it.
You don't obtain Excellence by lowering your sights and thereby changing the definition of Excellence.
You obtain Excellence by fixing what's wrong in your own back yard, then pushing hard to exploit the overhauled and improved system to its fullest.
But that's waaaaaaaayy too much like actual 'work'.
Typical mindless forced social re-engineering in a proto-nanny-state era.
If it's true, that Common Core is now being jettisoned, then, good riddance to bad rubbish.
