Common Core is uncommon for America as our freedoms diminished when "those Chiefs" implemented it!

Common Core is the end game of the 100+ years of sabotage of American education to PURPOSELY dumb us down. Therefore, ridding ourselves of the cancer that is Common Core is only the first step in reversing the Deliberate Dumbing Down of America to re-establish excellence in American education; reclaim our American heritage; and restore our sovereignty, freedoms, and exceptionalism. God bless America.

I've read samples of Common Core material. I believe Common Core is backed more by political indoctrination than by doing what is best for the children.

I have a friend whose child maintained a constant 4.0 grade score in Parochial school. But now that she has had to attend public school her lazy educators are in capable of educating. Don't change the system, hire people who are better equipped to educate.

We have to stop the federal government from encroaching on state's rights and violating the Constitution any more.

I am a retired teacher of New Orleans Public Schools, and after researching and reading Common Core, it is nothing but a controlled educational system with socialistic planning and consequences. The government is trying to take control of children, and parents need to make every effort to stop Common Core. Young minds need to be challenged and not controlled.

The English/reading curriculum is so bad, I can't imagine who wrote it. If I think "huh?" to some of the test questions, I know my 4th grader is lost... what were they thinking?

In education as in medicine; first, do no harm. Former Assistant Secretary of Education, Diane Ravitch, slams education reforms to standing ovation. Please watch and pass along to everyone. Q & A afterward is great too! http://shar.es/Upd74 http://shar.es/Upd74 bcdownload.gannett.edgesuite.net

I find myself teaching my children when they get home already. Not only would common core confuse my children even more, I would have to re-educate myself as well. I find I have above average intelligence and the standards are confusing enough for our students. Stop taking steps backward. Our schools are losing the few GOOD teachers because of this already.

There is no more obvious Trojan Horse than Education sponsored by the Federal Government; to not realize that is to not know lAmerican History.

I don't want our children's education to be "fundamentally changed" with the rest of America as we know it.

The Federal Government started taking over American Education when commodities were accepted by American Schools.
