It takes the local control away from teachers and parents. It promotes conformity and places every student being taught by the CC in one mold. It dumbs things down to an unbelievable level. My teachers wrote their own tests why can’t I? If an engineer can go to school for four years and then put a stamp on a set of plans an says build it, and we do and we trust it. Why can’t I as a licensed professional educator put my stamp of approval on an education plan that has been decided upon by me and the parents not the state or a national common core. I also have children in school. My 4th grader is frustrated with his CC math the teacher is frustrated and after talking to most of the other parents – there is nothing but frustration where the old reliable way of teaching was not frustrating. My daughter is in the 9th grade and the math is being taught differently now. There will no longer be a geometry class it will be blended into a math class. I want my kids to have geometry.
