Do you know Why Common Core is such a failure and a well deserved hated standard? Two major reasons.
The state-led effort to develop the Common Core State Standards was launched in 2009 by state leaders, including governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, two territories and the District of Columbia, through their membership in the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). State school chiefs and governors recognized the value of consistent, real-world learning goals and launched this effort to ensure all students, regardless of where they live, are graduating high school prepared for college, career, and life.
This was taken straight from the website. So for starters it was developed by a combination of 48 states and all of those personnel. You this in this magnitude it now becomes federal. So this is problem 1.
Now for problem 2 and I see it as the most important problem who in the list of the people mentioned were NOT involved in the development process? Who are the people that have the major influence of the child? The PARENTS
This is why this is such hated across the country. The parents not given the opportunity for any input to this standard and also they don't have the voice to oppose the standard.
This is why a good tool such as the common core became trash. It became federal and it purposely left out the parenting of the parents during the school years of the child's growth.
If elected president the use of the common core would be held to a city level if three or more schools are involved or at the county level. The people involved are only the teachers and the board of parents. No state officials will be present. The parents and the teachers will review texts books, study materials and alike for each grade of school. The parents and teachers will approve the curriculum.

Why would Marxist supporters want parents to have any say?
