lol just joking

I am 100% sure Trump has no actual idea what the Common Core is considering it is not a federal program and not something the President can get rid of, even though it was one of his campaign promises.

There's no actual reason to be against common core

I know that. Pretty much anyone who talks about being against common core has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

Trump being a great example, saying that he would eliminate it, when it is literally something he cannot do. People are dumb though "Obama pushed this Common Core, but Trump is gonna get rid of it!!!!!"

Common core doesn't work in diverse areas tho

Like legit I cannot possibly get a seventh grader on level if he is still on 3rd grade standards while everyone else is all over the place

Combined with ENL learning

And SpEd services

It might work in Missouri but not in NYC

The goal would be to have all students start with the same standards from k to 12 in math. That way they are never significantly behind. However there will always be issues of students falling behind or special ed students not being on grade level no matter which set of standards is being used.

yeah, just had to explain to a friend complaining about helping his younger brother do some homework "this common core stuff makes it too confusing, no idea what any of it means so I'm lost during middle school work" and it's like... that's not common core bro, plus you took three levels of calc in uni and use it during your job

When was your change of heart, billcom? I know you were pretty conservative some years ago.

I never really labeled myself to any specific political ideology, I usually look at stuff issue by issue. Now I ask myself the question "Does this make things better or worse overall?" about any kind of political question.

As a teacher I probably approach the topic of Education much differently than any other issue. I see the Common Core State Standards as being a good thing and it just really annoys me when people talk about them when they have no idea what they are. Like Trump said he would get rid of them, that is literally something he can't do.

Getting into a twitter argument with a Trump supporter about Common Core lol

Of course he has no idea what he is talking about, but he is sure CC is bad and has to go.

no one who is vehemently against common core actually knows what the fuck common core is nor can they explain why its so bad

they just parrot fear mongering they've read off of facebook propaganda and get scared because they didnt learn it.which makes sense as to why trump and his supporters are so against it. they both feed off propaganda because trump is essentially someone that belongs on /r/oldpeoplefacebook but has infinite power.
