A man in Ohio decided to “put his money where his mouth is” in Common Core terms.
Take a look at this check made out to the local school. It’s made out in “common core math.” So, if Millridge Elementary school wants to cash it, it’s going to have to explain to the bank cashier how it works (talk about an exercise in futility.) They may as well tear it up now.
The Washington Post recently ran a story about Ohio’s “confusing” Common Core standards that illustrates the issues with the program.
After giving students an online test in math and English language arts, it turned out that only one-third were “proficient” in the subjects; the Common Core standards were subsequently lowered so that it appeared that 65 percent were “proficient.”

New meaning to the term “Ignorance is Bliss”
We should force all of the States to stop all of these test because the kids are only learning how to take test and not learning what they need to survive.
Don’t worry… American kids need to only know how to use a EBT card from Gubbermint. The NEW worker class will be imported!
The tests are from ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) from 2015. It applies to all states even without Common Core.
Not sure why CC is funny. It is criminal and should be banned from all schools forever.
How do we make that happen? Banning cc. Im willing to do whatever it takes to get rid of it! Dont know where to star and lack resources! They cant get away with this anymore and the people are the only ones that can stop this madneds before it can not be reversed! We are letting to many years pass by us…..
Common Core is an outline of knowledge. It leaves how to teach, including methods to teachers & textbooks.
By the way, making 10s is fundamental to traditional math & even found in Sesame St. 8+5=13. 13 is the same as 10 + 3. Notice the 10??
