Stop the Common Core teaching methods and testing

We all agree that the backward way of teaching our state's children makes no sense and is detrimental to their learning. Teaching children to take exponentially more steps and time to arrive at answers and expecting them to be able to analyze and infer from information that they don't have the experience or language skills to understand is insane. The Common Core also completely ignores the development of basic writing skills like grammar, spelling and penmanship.

Why is this important?

Our children' s education is being ruined by Common Core teaching methods and testing.
