Common Core - what is it?

Do you know what Common Core is?

Remember "No Child Left Behind"?

And "high-stakes" testing?

Is Common Core a "one-size-fits-all, turn-my-child-into-a-robot form of standards"?

Should children and students be treated like a herd of cattle (or sheep) or treated as individuals?

Should teachers "teach to the test" or educate their students?
