  1. I tried to give common core the benefit of the doubt but even still I do not find it more helpful at all. It makes the teachers have to do it the way it is saying to do it but they do not want to do that. They want to teach how they like to teach.

  2. I agree with the fundamental idea where two of the same course should educate students in the same way. A problem in education is lazy teachers. I have taken classes that do not at all prepare you for further education in that subject. This is not because I failed to learn or apply myself in certain things but rather because the teacher has chosen to over look it or skip it. So, how is one suppose to learn a topic if they are never introduced to it? Of course if a student is interested they can do their own research but the problem comes when they are never taught information when it will be needed further down the road. If the common core can make is so that every student learns the same core curriculums and everyone has the same opportunity then i will continue to be pro common core. Why should any student be at a disadvantage due to the lack of a teacher’s effort?

  3. Common core was designed to help students, however, it just makes them worried about the test. Rather than actually focus on learning they are going to focus on what is necessary. We have to keep in mind that people learn at different paces and must be taught accordingly.
