9 Years Into Common Core, Test Scores Are Down,
Indoctrination Up
Common Core sucked all the energy, money, and motivation right out of desperately needed potential reforms to U.S. public schools for a decade, and for nothing.
Instead, however, the evidence indicates that at best Common Core made negligible improvements, and at worst it’s reduced student achievement, all while soaking up huge amounts of time and money. The years of small but visible achievement growth under George W. Bush have been replaced by zero growth under and after Obama.
Unless we want to see lunatic left stand alone and victorious on the battlefield in another twenty years, we must start tearing down this hideous house of cards they are constructing.
