As a citizen and taxpayer of the great State of Michigan, I petition the Governor, the State Board of Education, and the combined Michigan House and Senate to take every action necessary to rescind the State's participation in Race to the Top, the Common Core State Standards, any agreement to share student data with the federal government or any other governmental or private entity, any national-testing consortium, and any scheme (such as No Child Left Behind waivers) that requires such participation. Michigan's citizens, have the constitutional right to exercise 100% control over the content standards in our public schools through our duly elected representatives in the Michigan House of Representatives and the Michigan Senate.

Please get rid of common core in our shook systems. It is completely ridiculous that my 11 year old crys over his homework every night. It takes hours to complete math problems the way the common core teaches. He can get the answer, but not the way he is required.
Education should be kept as close to the local level as possible. No politician or businessman loves or cares about what is best for my child more than I do. Common Core is about money and control, not education.
Common Core is not helping our children. Please stop this wrong method of teaching! I am an Engineer with. a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Engineering. The way Common Core is teaching these kids math is insane! This will only hurt them in the work force later on.
Let education be directed at the State level. This encourages competition between the States that fuels innovation and improvement. If run at a National level compliance rather than creative enhancement becomes the goal.
My 5th grader is doing 2nd grade math. She got 1 out of 20 wrong on her math test and got a "3" as a grade. Her friend got 6 out of 20 wrong and also got a "3". My child believes she deserves a "4" and I agree with her. If this (MY)republican party doesn't wake up, I will work as hard as I can against it.
Please repeal and replace common core! I've pulled my children out of public school because it got so bad and I see first hand now how well they are excelling in our private school. There is a better way for all our children.
Please, please, please listen to us we are destroying our children's future by letting this go on!

We need to restore control to our local School boards! Common Core distorts American History and Values one lesson at a time. Please Repeal and Remove Common Core immediately.
