Very disturbing. I'm telling you, journalism is dead, and they've failed to report on this.
Common core is being pushed across the country in the public school system.
Data mining of our children and privacy are major concerns. The more we learn about this, the scarier it is. And its not a Democrat or Republican thing, its Progressive. You do not want your children involved in this. And good luck getting answers from your school. One lady said the school told her she had no right to know what the school curriculum is. This is bad news.
If you are going to research this, please do more than go to Common Core's web site. You obviously will not get the whole truth from them.
It's too late. States that got waivers from NCLB requirements have to move to RTT with Common Core.
It was a strong arm movement. NCLB requires 100% pass next year and no state in the nation is anywhere near that 100%.
And none of them want to lose their Fed money. Even Texas, as anti DC as they are, put in for a waiver.
Sadly there's no much to be done about this. The US went from #18 in Math (2000) to #31 in Math (2009) world wide. NCLB and new curriculum standards came into effect in 2000.
Once RTT is in place for a few years people we'll see that we're going from bad to worse.

That's not the case at our school. We have two parent's night per year and a portion of those nights are explaining the new common core curriculum standards.

Well it would be in your best interest to do your own research rather that just go off the people enacting this and what they say

I have because our school is switching over to the new standards. It's basically a new way to have students critically think instead of just memorizing information.

Do not rely on the schools telling you that they know what's best.
They have no choice but to go along with RTT.
Do your own independent research into this.
If need be then augment education yourself at home.
This is your child's future.

They have been doing critical thinking for 10 years now since the new standards from NCTM came out in 2000. Rote is rarely used in school anymore.
In a way. I don't see the new standards as much of a change. It's pretty much just focusing more on going in depth with material. Our old standards were a mile wide and inch deep, now it's less wide and more deep.
