To the contrary, I've never personally heard any reasonable support for Common Core. Of the many examples I've seen, including what my daughter has been inflicted with, it is leaping past basic competency going straight to advanced techniques which only are simple because of thousands of hours of practice with straightforward fundamentals. When asking even Common Core teachers about the curriculum, they're quick to express reflexive embarrassment and change the subject. Even (IIRC) the federal head of the curriculum sends his own kids to a non-Common Core school.
