Let me start by saying that I am opposed to the Common Core Standards for a variety of reasons.
I do not believe that a single measure can address the myriad of problems in education. I also believe that we need to “follow the money” ““ where has the Common Core come from? Who has financed it and who will profit when it is implemented? I do not believe that the winners of the common core will be the students or their parents. The blog that follows identifies many of the reasons why I oppose the common core but Anthony Cody states it more clearly and better than I can. After reading this, please pass it on, whether you agree with it or not. It is entitled “Common Core Standards: Ten Colossal Errors.”
