I don't think this is going to change. I have kids in school in California. Most of the parents in my middle class neighborhood also went through public schools, and they have completely wrong ideas about how to improve academic performance. The only parents I agree with are parents from China, Singapore, Taiwan, India etc. But most of them are moving out of public schools and into private schools. So I'm mostly stuck with parents who themselves can't do math properly, so they complain about things like Common Core without understanding what the purpose is.
