The Common Core State Standards Initiative is an education initiative that details what K-12 students should know in English and Math at the end of each grade. The initiative is sponsored by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers and seeks to establish consistent education standards across the states as well as ensure that…

I’m uneducated on this issue
@93RQL4H2yrs2Y
No. The current education system teaches every child as though they all learn the same, which is completely ridiculous. We are so far behind any other thriving country when it comes to the way we educate our children.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, but only for basics such as literacy and numeracy.
@92X5HLD2yrs2Y
No, and the government should not be involved with education
@92JDKSZ2yrs2Y
No, we should go back to old way
@88LK76J2yrs2Y
No and abolish the public school system
@9284RDV2yrs2Y
Integarte a mastery system which caters to the individual development of the student as opposed to standardized measurements

@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
No, schools should teach life skills and soft skills, not stuff that won't significantly enhance their life. School should be made according to cutting edge research on learning, and if they do that, then kids will love school, and more will be able to be done in less time, which means more time for family and developing their own unique skills and passions.
Standardized testing should also be modified so that there is no high stakes testing, and so teachers don't teach to the test. It should be mastery based and use small quizzes to ensure they are ready to move on.
We should also add parenting, marriage happiness, home economics, and financial literacy to the common core.
@DreamBlueonE2yrs2Y
Home school and unschool is under attack and I want to make sure we all have the freedom to choose the education but I understand the school system need a full rehaul and it should be better and universal to the world not whatever your plan will be wrong
@88NZKDZ2yrs2Y
No, education should not be managed by government or private businesses. Instead, it should be syndicated by educators in the industry. They should collectively decide on a basic national curriculum and then locally, each teacher union should decide on local curriculum.
@8WZKS5D3yrs3Y
Depends on the specifics of how it is implemented.
@89CDM9C3yrs3Y
Yes and no. I support a base standard for basic reading, writing, math, science, and U.S. Constitution knowledge and skills. The rest should be up to the state and/or local governments to decide.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No. There should be basic standards that apply to all, but there should also be the ability to teach to the child's ability regardless of what that ability level may be. Our current system is teaching to the test instead of providing an education.
@8TKFNNS3yrs3Y
NO but we should restart it with Pro American Values known as American Parriots Education Values.
@8TKFNNS3yrs3Y
Yes but we should restart it with Pro American Values known as American Parriots Education Values.
@8TF44GJ3yrs3Y
No, Common Core kills critical thinking, and I hate it with every fiber of my being
@8T3NTTG3yrs3Y
There needs to be a national standard but the math needs to be revamped to be more applicable to the average American voter, there needs to be a sex-ed class, and history needs to be taught with critical race theory
@8R6XFJ63yrs3Y
I think the education system needs to be rebuilt for newer generations. also, we should change how and what they learn.
@8S77T7N3yrs3Y
no go back to the old ways
@8RM3NHC3yrs3Y
yes and no, I believe there should be loose standards, but they should also be flexible for students who need more time to understand certain subjects
@4VXDGTF3yrs3Y
Yes, but it is not and should not be a federal program.
@8QYJVXR3yrs3Y
They should until 10th grade and teach to each student's potential and wants
@8QDSNZY3yrs3Y
Not in its current implementation
@benethan103yrs3Y
I think the idea that all schools should teach the same subjects and students should have an advanced understanding of science, math, English, and social sciences, however, the common core can be a bit restricting on what teachers can teach to their students. Adding more freedom to the system would be beneficial, especially when certain aspects of the common core are not as beneficial to a student's learning when more important topics could be taught but are left to the wayside in lessons since the common core did see them as important. Cthulu forgive we leave something out of the common core in lieu of something more relevant and important to student growth.
Deleted3yrs3Y
I partially support it, but it should be reformed.
@88LK76J3yrs3Y
No I support state standards and we should not force kids to retake classes if they fail.
@88LK76J3yrs3Y
I support state standards and we should not force kids to retake classes if they fail.
@88LK76J3yrs3Y
Yes but don’t force children to retake classes if they failed.
@8PMF46F3yrs3Y
Regardless, education should be handled at the state level. Also, common core does not confront the reality that every student does not learn the same and our methods of teaching need to better reflect that.
@8P6PWZP3yrs3Y
Establish a universal education system.
@6R6HBQ33yrs3Y
No, but the federal government should have nationwide standards
@8H4DF7B4yrs4Y
Yes but allow states to exceed it and also implement it in their own way. Also, increase learning skills over test taking skills.
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
Nationalize all educational institutions (e.g. schools, colleges, universities, etc) in the U.S. and ensure free and public education, where a High School diploma or a GED shall be one of the requirements to attend a college or university
- K-4, 5-8, 9-12 grade levels
- Monotheistic religious education should be introduced (or reintroduced) as a school subject
- Socially useful school subjects should take priority over other subjects, while any non-socially useful class subjects shall be optional (in the form of electives)
- By the U.S. law, every public school must be required to establish 20 as the limit on the number of students per classroom
@8MCVG8W4yrs4Y
No, teach for mastery of understanding.
@8LSVCGK4yrs4Y
Yes, but the states should be encouraged, at least to add some supplements behind it. School districts should follow both common core and state supplements, but it is up to the school to add their own supplemental curiculum
@78S5M874yrs4Y
abolish the Department of Education, and let it be up to the student, teacher, and parents what education a child receives.
@8KWL5K34yrs4Y
No, They force teachers to teach a broad and shallow depth of knowledge and prevent students from genuinely comprehending subjects on a deeper level because time has to be spent quickly covering all topics.
@8JBN6KV4yrs4Y
No. I do not support what they have become. This needs a complete overhaul.
@7RGBCQB4yrs4Y
No, it is terrible, it is bad, and it is a joke. It represents a top-down approach to education. Also, we need to teach to each student's potential instead of uniform testing, because all standardized tests do is draw everybody to the same mediocre average.
@gabehwkns4yrs4Y
No, but limited national standards can be established as a foundation from which schools can work from
@8HCRRMJ4yrs4Y
Common Core is fine. But instead of letting anyone skate by with a D or almost an F require a C and let the children fail. It will motivate them to try harder.
@8CMCHPM4yrs4Y
The concept is good but not the current implementation. Also, we should not be worried about students achieving standardized test scores - these are pointless and only teach a student how to take a test and then forget the information.
@8F7VHRV4yrs4Y
I do not have the knowledge to answer this question.
@8F5PKLS4yrs4Y
Yes, but teach to each student's potential as well.
@2VP298Q4yrs4Y
No, the standards aren't adequate to the needs of the country, nor do they help each child reach their potential.
