Five Facts about the Mathematics Common Core Standards |

With all the misinformation still being circulated and with the assessments for Common Core State Standards (CCSS) right around the corner, I wanted to take a moment to make sure that everyone is aware of the contents of the standards. I’ve done this previously with English/Language Arts, and so today I will attempt to do the same with the Mathematics standards. So, if you know nothing about the Mathematics Common Core State Standards, here is what you should know:

The purpose of common core is to dumb down America. Every parent I talk to agrees with this. The top math countries use nothing even similar to this garbage. It's easier for the ultra rich to control uneducated people. Over the sentries if our grade minds used this we would still be throwing rocks at food. I can not believe you sold out our nation and bought this scam. You have no shame. Microsoft would still be counting with sticks. About 3000 years ago a soul was worth 30 pieces of silver what's it up to now. You have sold out your children, your grand children, and generations to come in my opinion.
Not really less material in high school... written by BW, March 14, 2013
Although in the future, there may be students who have actually learned what they need during the elementary and middle school years, for the next few years at the school level we will continue to have students with huge gaps in their instruction and knowledge which must be filled before the required curriculum can be learned. Thus, for several years, at the high school level we will continue to be challenged to "cover" all the material. My experience this year with the common core is there is insufficient time to get to all the concepts, much less take the time to let the kids experiment and "discover" patterns and relationships. I had high hopes for the Common Core, but in practice it is disappointing, frustrating, and rife with lack of materials and resources.
