• Common Core removes control of our state k-12 education standards from Missouri and puts it in the hands of private trade organizations who wrote and copyrighted the standards and who are not accountable to the public which pays for their implementation.
• It allows the federal government to dictate the terms of our teacher evaluations.
• It makes it practically impossible for local school districts to control their costs because independent consortia develop assessment tools which our districts must use. These on-line assessments are not only many times more expensive than our existing MAP tests, they are a technical impossibility for many schools in our state who do not have broadband access to the internet.
• Common Core Standards are not internationally benchmarked as marketed, nor have they been tested and found to be superior to existing state standards. They have never been tried before. Their implementation in 45 states amounts to a massive pilot program that uses our children as test subjects.
• Common Core assessments ramp up the collection of personally identifiable data on our children. Through various agreements this data will be sent directly to the US Department of Education who has changed the Family Education Rights Privacy Act (FERPA) to allow this data to be shared with other government agencies and third parties without our knowledge or consent.
• The architect of the Common Core Standards has vowed to align the SAT tests to these standards thereby pressuring homeschoolers and private schools to teach to these standards as well. Millions of children will be lost inside a one size fits all system designed to create equal mediocrity among the new “global citizens.”

common core though it has just began I have already noticed it lasting effects on my son who is 8 years and no longer wants or has interest in attending public school. So sad that they burnt him out with there repetitive testing.
Common Core does not work for our students nor our teachers. We should have a right, as a state, to decide what is best for our schools - NOT the Federal Government that does not do their research properly before instituting something that has no room for change.
Common Core was adopted, you might say, by executive order, in Missouri. To me, it seems to be nothing more than a huge profit scheme for these private companies, who could really care less or not if our children learn to read, or do basic math.
I am currently a junior in highschool and I am part of a homeschool group, but this is only because the school I was at before implemented Common Core! I had 1 year of the english class and it was not good! thank you so much for what you're doing!
I support the efforts of all parents and educators in the state of Missouri who know that education is best served through the unique, artistic hands of teachers, not through the pre-designed methods and targets of a centralized governmental planning.
I really love all the great effort you put into ipetitions.com. I promised one of my mentors that I pass this secret along. I have something very special that only you can know it. Intriguing right? Don't worry it will not take a lot of your time but don't ignore it because it was really hard for me to find. See what belongs to you. https://qualitytrafficservices.xyz Regards, https://qualitytrafficservices.xyz

I have a hug problem with how common core is educating my daughter in math. I do not understand why they are not teaching our children the basic rules and all this drawing and number line junk seems pointless and more like the long way around.
