Please repeal these testing standards before my child, who has trouble learning anyway, becomes devastated by these standards! His worth is not determined by a test score. -

I am writing as a former teacher, parent of three teachers and a grandparent of three students. The deployment of Common Core in our district is resulting in a dumbing down of the curriculum and a reduction in classroom teaching time due to a major increase in testing (9 weeks of testing over 1 school year). We have many excellent teachers who are throwing in the towel and leaving education and students who no longer want to go to school. The local board level teacher evaluation process is being taken over by a process based on state and federally mandated test scores that only show the results at one point in time. The entire movement is driven by people who have a profit motive rather than the best interests of our children. When developing the Common Core, input from classroom experienced teachers was being totally ignored. This madness has to stop or we will have to elect people who are willing to stop it!REPORT COMMENTS

I'm a third grade teacher in Florida and the Common Core math is absolutely unteachable. The US has sent astronauts to the Moon and rovers to Mars. Those rocket scientist learned adding and subtracting, carrying and borrowing, and multiplying and dividing when they were in the third grade. So why are the Common Core Standards drastically changing the methods and math concepts we're teaching our third graders? We know what works. Shouldn't we stick to it?REPORT COMMENTS

This reform is the status quo and needs to go. Let teachers educate kids. People like Bill Gates and David Coleman should not be dictating what our children learn.REPORT COMMENTS

Common Core is nothing more than a business plan. It has nothing to do with educating children. It is child abuse and we will never stop fighting for the children! It is criminal to promote such an evil monster such as Common Core.REPORT COMMENTS
