The goal of Common Core is a good one. But the research was not nearly thorough enough. The curriculum was adopted all at once instead of giving it any testing.

The goal of Common Core is a good one. But the research was not nearly thorough enough. The curriculum was adopted all at once instead of giving it any testing. And at least in my area, students must take the math class at their age level, at least through elementary school. Now students that excel at math get bored and hate it, and students who need extra help can't get it. That is the wrong way to improve education.
