As far as I am concerned ‘Common Core’ is a MAJOR attempt at dumbing down America’s children. I bet you that the children of the ‘elites’ are getting a good education with sound fundamentals in Math, English, Reading and Writing. That will eventually translate to the point where only the children of the ‘Elites’ can qualify for the ‘Elite’ universities and ivy league schools.
Think about it... in one generation the gulf between the have’s and have-nots or if you will; the ‘elites’ and the non-elites will be nigh insurmountable for the average American to overcome.
