Common core has destroyed education. Kids should not be learning to be good test takers, kids should be learning how to do real math, and not this insane formulas that they'll use.Nov 14th, 2017Heather D. from Elba, AL writes:
I can’t even help my son with his homework because of the stupid common core crap it needs to be back the way everyone else was taught so our kids can succeed instead of fail!REPORT COMMENTS

If excellent robotic test-taking is the future sole job requirement for our children, then this is a great system. Unfortunately there isn't a single job on the planet that requires this skill. It only serves to produce mindless children who learn nothing yet are highly stressed out. This is a perfectly failed educational system.REPORT COMMENTS

I am a high school student who is stressing out about having to pass the parcc test to graduate. I think this is so bad for the students because I myself have cried because of trying to pass this test. I have know many others who are going through what I am going through. I think that they should find another way to see if students know what they have learn through out the years without making them stress, and cry about begin scared to not graduate because they are not good test takers.REPORT COMMENTS

The common core standards are ruining my sons love of learning and stopping all gains he made in math up to the middle of 1st grade. He could add,subtract, and was starting to understand the concepts of multiplication and division. Now in grade 2, he is biting his nails to the quick and having constant stomach aches over not being good at math, since he can't do the problems the one way the assessment required for high points. Never mind he can do them his own way or in his head. The way this is required to be taught and assessed is nonsense, and is damaging. This needs to be gone now. It's harmful. If it were nearly anything but a program with pretend incentivized funds attached, administrators and districts would have had the guts to say "hell no". I guarantee if the educators had been given a say, this never would have happened.REPORT COMMENTS

Common core interrupts a child's development during the early stages of elementary school aged children (4-9). It destroys their self-esteem, confidence, and self-image. This has to stop.REPORT COMMENTS

As someone who's been a forced recipient of common core math since 4th grade, please stop it! I hate math class now because it takes 6 pages to explain that if you move a dot along a vector, it's still a dot. My math teacher this year has been doing an amazing job, but you can tell how much she dislikes teaching the engageNY curriculum my school district uses. It's boring, unnecessarily complicated, and mostly won't be used. Everything about it is horrible and I wish my teachers had been able to teach us how they wanted to in order for us to actually learn instead of having to give us math homework in the first WEEK of school in order to get us ready for the many tests and quizzes we'll have thrown at us nearly weekly.REPORT COMMENTS

I am a private tutor and the Common Core has given my students so much anxiety. It has affected their confidence and I have seen many tears. The tests and standards that the teachers have to adhere to are not age appropriate!REPORT COMMENTS

I have a son that is new to middles school this year. 6th grade should not be this difficult. I can not help him with his homework because I was not taught any of this! My 11 year old son has to take Chinese! Really?! 2 math classes, 2 science classes and not to mention this ELA that I am clueless to. Google has become my best friend. Homework is started from the time he walks in the door at 3:30 until 8:30, dinner and bed. No time for outside play, sports or family time. It makes me wonder what are the doing in school? Sending all of the work home to school the parents? It's ridiculous and I would like it if this matter could be addressed to the Secretary of Education. Out here in the real world, 75% of this stuff being taught, will not be used and the other 25% of it will be forgotten. My son learned what racism and prejudice meant when he was in 3rd grade. What happened here?!REPORT COMMENTS

Common Core is, in my opinion, the worst educational disaster ever in the United States. Literature, Spelling, Arts, and any sensible Math skills are not being taught. Children everywhere are having emotional meltdowns due to constant testing and stress of trying to understand college level language in K-3rd grade, as all word problems and "Data" being shoveled into them at light speed is nothing but stress. There is no teaching in this. There is no learning in this. Our Chidren Deserve far better than this. This is a total uneducational disaster. Thank you.REPORT COMMENTS
