[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 2404216, member: 4953"] All we are going to accomplish is leaving more kids behind. I'm sure that will really leave us behind other countries. That kind of leads into another point. I call BS on the US being behind the rest of the world in education. The immigration problem in the US says volumes about how horribly we are doing. My son is doing well as he is very bright but not all kids are so naturally bright and/or have involved parents. So you want to solve the dropout problem and kids doing poorly by pushing all kids into advanced courses despite their abilities? Or not having modified tests for learning disabled student? It's a pretty stupid theory. We are going to have more kids running around without HS diplomas. Does that sound like a good idea to anyone? Not to mention the curriculum. I can't wait to see how they try to teach about the constitution and second amendment. I urge you to reconsider your position. I want what's best for our kids but common core is not it. It will move them backwards. [/QUOTE]
