An Ohio dad was so frustrated with Common Core math that he wrote a mock check to the local elementary school and used Common Core math logic. It became ‘viral’ and made the national news cycle.
At a New Hampshire education summit hosted by former CNN anchor Campbell Brown, a school choice advocate, GOP candidates discussed education policy and both John Kasich and Jeb Bush distanced themselves from their support of Common Core.
Both Mississippi and Wisconsin are now opting out of the controversial Common Core standards, which is a federal, top-down education curriculum that has received significant pushback from parents across the U.S. 19 states have withdrawn or paused implementation of the standards, with 4 completely withdrawing from it altogether (Indiana, Louisiana, Oklahoma and South Carolina).
