We Should Care About Common Core Standards

Education

Common Core


The common core standards that has taken over American public education system and has been of much discussion.  Common Core has been high criticized. Proponents and opponents are playing a bit of political ping pong with our children's education in my opinion.  

As a parent and a concerned citizen I believe education is one area we cannot afford to get wrong.  Therefore, we have to engage, join the discussion, and take action.  Take action at the polls, in our schools, and most importantly in our homes.

State By State Adoption of Common Core
