If it were only for information, no one would need public schools (I’d argue that we don’t). Schools are to house kids so both parents can work, and schools are for social sheepherding, and schools are for carrot and stick making kids do their learning.
Common core is forcing kids everywhere to get the exact same education. That is dead wrong when now you can get nearly for free info from all sides about any subject. Common core wants all Americans to have the same exact facts in their heads. It’s more of a box of facts than we need with the explosion of variety of facts available to us.
Also, it’s politically correct. Thus not allowing for other opinions. It’s important for kids to learn from true real documents and books of the times they study, not everything washed through a filter of liberal education experts.
