Common Core Standards are a bad idea because it gives the government too much control over what students are taught and how they should learn. Common Core seems like a dumbed-down standard that our States will be forced to implement in order to obtain much needed government educational money. In addition to the great expense of the Common Core program, power will be taken from the teachers to prevent them from creating teaching plans based on the needs of their students. This also removes the opportunity for the teacher to share their enthusiasm and love of learning with their students by dictating what and how they should teach. Teachers become robots rather than those who can use their talents to inspire. Also, if the Common Core Standards are implemented, parents will have a more difficult time helping their children with homework because the methods being taught are very different than how they were taught. This could be most confusing, especially in math.
