Some parents in my state are trying to exclude their kids from Common Core. The state commissioner of education says that’s “illegal.”
So much for your local public school is what YOU allow it to be.
We beat common core at the local level and put enough pressure on the state legislature to ignore it too. If you’re willing to let the state commissioner dictate to you and you haven’t filed a law suit yet, I don’t know what to tell you. I live in a red state but the state legislature was still blue until recently, we started the fight against heavy odds and common core helped make them the minority. We have stopped common core in the state unless a local board wants to incorporate it for their district. We also passed a law that the state teacher’s union has to bill their members for dues rather than the state doing payroll deduction. I ran for and was elected to the local board of education on common core replacing a nanny stater. I didn’t say it was easy. It takes hard work. You can either be a Boehner or a Cruz.
