UPDATE: Common Core State Standards — Keep up the Resistance!
March 18, 2015
What a difference a year makes! We first linked to Truth in American Education’s resistance map back in March of 2014. Here is an update.
The Common Core landscape has certainly changed. Many more states have pending legislation in to reject the Common Core. Several states have also terminated their membership in their Common Core assessment consortium. More parents are becoming aware of the problems with the Common Core standards, assessments, and especially with the data collection.
Keep up the resistance!
At first 46 states and the District of Columbia signed on to the Common Core State Standards, but Minnesota soon rejected the Common Core math standards while retaining the English/Language Arts standards. Now, more states are re-examining their decision and are taking steps to reject the Standards. States are realizing they have given up state control over their own education system and have committed themselves to spending billions on an unproven education plan. Truth in American Education has updated their resistance map. Read their commentary.
