A study released Monday by the Boston-based
Pioneer Institute reveals a historic drop in national reading and math
scores among U.S. students since the adoption of the Common Core
Curriculum Standards a decade ago.
“Nearly a decade after states adopted Common Core, the empirical
evidence makes it clear that these national standards have yielded
underwhelming results for students,”
said Pioneer
executive director Jim Stergios in a statement. “The proponents of this
expensive, legally questionable policy initiative have much to answer
for.”
Of course.
ReplyDeleteWhen you make reading and math frustrating, confusing and painful, nobody is going to go out and seek to do more than the minimum.
Really. Thanks.
