The common core is causing more stress on our children and is making it too hard for them to learn causing a lot of negativity about school!

This common core is stupid it will cause more of our kids to drop out cause they have a harder time understanding it. should have just kept the curriculum the way it was an offered more teacher student extra help.

Common Core has complicated and taken the joy out of learning and teaching. I has served to frustrate children, teachers and parents with it's convoluted methods. In addition, the creators seem very comfortable with exposing elementary age children to adult reading content and materials. Joyful learning and morality has been lost with this system of non learning.

Common Core is another failed federal incursion into local education. If you think the testing is poorly handled, wait until you see the content. There's a reason it's called "common" .

I'm signing this petition is because I hate the Common Core standards, especially for the State Tests and Regents Exams, the Common Core has to come to an end, it is very difficult for students and they keep failing the state tests and exams, and Common Core is boring and annoying,

Common core is an assault on our children.I encourage every parent,grandparent,even if you are not a parent to sign this petition.Also protest by opting out of taking the tests.In NYC we have that right.Research the "Common Core Parental Refusal Act."Sign that petition as well.Lets continue to fight for our kids who cannot fight for themselves"

The common core is not the answer. It confuses the kids. They are getting lower grades. Who wants to do work that makes them feel bad about themselves!

Children should not be influenced and forced to be an employee for Bill Gates by way of indoctrinating them before they can even read. I am against Common Core standards and will remain against our children and tax paying dollars being used to benefit future employees, by brainwashing our kids in this nation, much deeper than they have done already.

The most brilliant minds were produced during the pre-Common Core eras. Common Core wasn't necessary then, and it isn't necessary now.

The confusing methodology of CC math & ELA is but smoke. The real danger is the data-mining of our children's lives and futures.

common core is not in the best interest of students, it only makes the schools LOOK like they are doing well.
