"Here he is boss, deader than hell but won't let go!"

Every other day we hear from Common Core proponents about how wonderful these standards are, how teachers really (really!) love them, and how impossible it would be to do any better.
Just the other day, Education Week gloated how the new South Carolina standards are “89 percent in alignment with the common core for English/language arts, and 92 percent in alignment with the common core for math.” It reminded us that the new post-Common Core Indiana standards are also “a set of benchmarks not so different from the Common Core.”
The underlying message is that Common Core standards are so excellent and unique that states attempting to distance themselves from them won’t do any better.

Those who understand what common core is, want it gone.
However there are too many powerful people making too much money off of common core for to go away.

I haven’t met one teacher that likes CC. Not one. And many believe that it’s a brainwashing tool to make students unable to think on their own and that it has many hidden agendas after reviewing the content that they’ve seen (acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle, groupthink / collectivism, changing U.S. history, acceptance of other cultures particularly that of Muslims, teachinking children to lie to their parensts, etc...
I agree. Sad, but true. Common core will never be gone so long as there are those who support it in some shape or form.

Power was out in local area a couple of weeks ago. Not a single fast food place could make change because NONE of the kids working registers knew how to count back change for purchases.
True, money is a big factor. But CC provides a big step in molding the youngsters to be good little cogs in the wheel of the NWO machine; submissive, easy to control, easy to propagandize.
And guess what kind of education the children of those in the higher echelons get? The best - and it doesn’t include Common Core.

Seriously? That’s about as easy as it gets. You just count up to the amount they gave you and hand it to them...
Common core may be on its way out but the data trove practice will stay forever. Womb to the tomb intrusion. It is more disturbing than the common core.
When common core was not controlled by the federal government. It had some very good basic goals. One of them was to coordinate at what age subjects were taught so that children like me whose father was in the Navy or some other occupation that cause them to move around would not get taught world history in 5th 6th and 7th grade and miss local history because they moved. I could not take calculus in high school because the middle school prerequisites in my old school where not similar enough to those in the school district I now was attending. This type of coordination is still needed and is further proof how federal government can take something as simple and good as lunch and turn it into a complex monster of evil. I say (type) this with very little hyperbole intended.
Obamacare, too.
Drove by a private school yesterday that had a sign saying that they were enrolling and NO COMMON CORE.
Talked to teachers here in ca and they said they all call it communist core.
