But because some are #insulted, when rejected from attending Harvard or other elite schools, we get "Common Core."
This kind of public school control does not impact the student whose "connections" and "influence" allow them to enter these colleges and universities due to favor or relationship rather than grades. So the only comparison is the "average" student to the #braniac, whose grades and dedication earned them entry into an Ivy League school! The Government sees a need to spend our so-called badly needed "education dollars" to implement their suggested curriculum; their agenda...
I couldn't get in to Harvard even if I tried: I can admit that to myself, and I'm a pretty smart person as for test scores and grade point average reflect. But there is a personal dedication and striving on top of learning the material in school that (should) make one stand out as an "Ivy League" student, an uncommon individual. No matter the quality of the "public education", ...rich, poor... the "smart kid" on the block always strived to know more and do better in school than the "average' kid.

Wow! Lots of information I wasn't aware of. Thanks for sharing.
I am against even the name "Common" in the title #CommonCore. Sounds to me a way, as a government controlled curriculum, to "dumb down" the #AboveAverage student; so that not-as-smart people wont feel so bad.
MOST people ARE "average' ...or "common"--and that there is nothing wrong with this! (What ever happened to their mantra "I'm OK, You're OK"?) But some aren't (average). Some are less. But there are some that are much more than average.
Some people are #AboveAverage, and can forward think and create and invent, and introduce new products, which therefore introduce all sorts of jobs. Jobs we need, ...to pay for our product purchases.

But I forget, this was before the Government completely controlled our educational institutions and processes: the very thing a "liberal university" was invented to go against; (the Government).
To force a top-down, strung-to-the-money, unstudied, unpublicized, "system" to normalize school policy, is to take originality, creativity, and true diversity away from the Teacher--who dedicated all their time becoming one; and especially disparage the Student, and the differing learning styles of groups (visual, tactile, etc.) that "teachers" (used to) creatively provide for (e.g. in "learning centers" and "group studies" of similarly-styled learners)!
To identify "smart" and dedicated persons in contrast to "average" persons is not "racist" or political ...unless Harvard & Government has made it so!
So to "level (some) playing field" of our educational system that puts us at risk for not producing exceptional thinkers on a globally competitive scale, IS political!
Before it's TOO late to act on this one--and we find a way to justify the government funding, or threat of non-funnding over the loss of freedom to teach and learn--we need to remove #CommonCore and all of its new and imposing requirements.
