"Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) on Monday signed new legislation that makes his state the first to opt out of Common Core standards, amid conservative outrage over the education benchmarks." As stated by the Washington Post. Something that I find interesting about this, is that Indiana was one of the first states to adopt Common Core, and are now opting out of it. I think one of the big factors that most of the states don't agree with is, as stated by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, “I don’t think Common Core is as extreme as a lot of people paint it out to be. What I do think it is, is you’re treating South Carolina kids like they’re California kids, they’re still trying to put us all in one basket, and we’re not to be put in one basket.” That among other reasons of course.
I personally, disagree with Common Core. It is unconstitutional and should not be tolerated. The Common Core standards were passed before the delegates and officials had time to discuss it. The students are given tests that parents, teachers, and administrators are not allowed to see. According to my understanding.
I am against common core.
