This is a crisis we'd better get a handle on before it's too late -- if it isn't already!
Uhm, duh, everyone knows it’s spelled collej.
But, Yeb Bush and all the Bushbots say this is a great program, not to mention all the faux conservatives.
Common Core prepares ‘heads full of mush’ to be just that, drone worker bees for their masters in big government and loyal voters for the party that supports ‘gimmedats’.
No sh+t Sherlock. Common Core has one overarching goal-the uniform dumbing down of future voters through mandated education protocols.
As screwed-up as our colleges and universities have become, how pathetic must Common Core be that it doesn’t even prepare students for those weak institutions?
The public school system has been doing that long before Common Core, but it certainly doesn’t help. In the late 90s, over a dozen of my classes were termed “college-preparatory”, but they did little to prepare me and I did poorly in college. Part was my own maturity, but the other part was that it was also intellectually overwhelming for me at the time.

Common Core was never meant to prepare students for college or for anything useful. It’s designed to deprive students of the ability to think critically.
I was just scanning down the headlines on the News/Activism page, and shaking my head that these headlines are even being written. It has occurred to me that Common Core or no Common Core, our society has done a very bad job of preparing the next generation for what’s coming. These young people have been sold an ideology that denies some very fundamental truths about they world they live in and basic human nature. These truths are as immutable as the laws of physics, and the next generation thinks they can ignore them.
The result is going to be a train wreck, and they won’t be able to fix it because their ideology prevents them from realizing why they sent the train off the rails to begin with.
Of course it doesn’t because it doesn’t do the things that higher mathematics requires.....To do math successfully one needs to know (off the top of your head) your arithmetic tables. You need to know algebra and geometry. This two types of mathematics help you form proofs and look at things analytically.
Common core looks at numbers and tries to have children conceptualize group theory and number theory....those are advance mathematical constructs. The little brains of children do not do well with that approach
HEHEHEHEHE I have always believed that the COMMONCORE PRGRAM was a Wagon-Load of Manure. (Father of a Teacher, Father-In-Law of a Teacher now a School Principal)
Interesting that college professors find that their students cannot distinguish between option, fact and reasoned judgement. Seems like that would be ideal for indoctrinating them to liberal ideology
It doesn’t prep them for anything except never-ending welfare checks..................
Mission accomplished. Now the education gap between whites and blacks is closing; unfortunately, it is closing in the only way liberals are capable of closing such gaps: Downward.
So, how many years has this fiasco been hoisted on American schools?
Another FAILED Liberal idea — looked good on paper.

How long will it take the ‘victims’ of this social experiement to recover?
I don’t think it ever was intended to prep for college - but to dumb down a generation and make easier sheeple.
wha...that’s kan’t bee write.
No really, it’s OK since colleges really want higher paying foreign students who do much better on admissions exams. Plan working perfectly.
“While secondary teachers may be focusing on source-based writing [essays written about source-based documents], as emphasized in the Common Core, college instructors appear to value the ability to generate sound ideas more than some key features of source-based writing.”
What? You mean its more important to be able to critically think and come up with your own ideas and defend them rather than simply do nothing more that regurgitate what you heard someone else say and be able to cite them as a source? Who would have thunk that an educational system that exists anymore purely to indoctrinate would be prioritizing the ability to parrot over the ability to think....
Shocking I say... Shocking..
Common Core is suppose to dumb down the kids. It is working as planned.
