Hello,

I'm a 7th grade science teacher who has a question regarding the new common core standards. I've asked a few people in education this question and have not received a clear answer.

thanks Bill Thanks, Bill, for saying what many are saying. Common Core makes every kid be on the same page, but it also forces teachers into a mold. Nothing like "fed led ed" to suck all the joy and creativity out of a profession that is designed to be creative. I have found the "one size fits all" is usually synonymous with mediocrity. In education, the easy ...See More
