Can I just tell you all how much better you are making me feel? I got into a Common Core discussion in my home area and the moms would only talk politics - that it was Obama's plan, that it was only serving to make textbook companies rich, that it was forcing students to lose their freedoms and be forced to learn the same things, and on and on. There was no discussion of the actual meat of the program or any real philosophical discussion, they kept sending each other to politically charged websites. Thank you for having a more evidence based discussion.
