Maybe a bit more description would help this article. For example - what is it?--Bob"I think you'll find it's more complicated than that." 20:09, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

K-12 curriculum standard, where "K" stands for kindergarten (nominally at age five) and the standard continues through "12," which refers to the senior year of high school. (US high school starts nominally at age 14, with four years called "freshman," "sophomore," "junior," and "senior.") Article could use expansion and further missionification.

From what I can tell from this video, there seem to be completely legit politically-neutral criticisms of Common Core. It seems to just teach kids to appeal to emotions rather than seek truth or objectivity. I don't see why anyone shouldn't be opposed to that. I think we should be careful to avoid confirmation bias in assuming that because conservatives/right-wingers oppose something, it must not be that bad. --Nobody

Why is that states that have the crappiest education systems hate Common Core the most?--BlackProg (talk) 15:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Looking at [1] what is required 'seems perfectly reasonable' (to a non-US person at least) - even if some of it would probably require revision by the persons involved in the charge of children so taught. Is the quibbling equivalent to the 'Anti-Elf and Safety May Contain Nuts' Brigade (where the response is that it is easier to label everything than consider the specific exemptions - and, yes, some people #are that stupid#).

'Do not try this while consuming hot drink and crumbly edibles' - imagine the response to the theoretical perfectly-reasonable-to-bystanders History Common Core. 82.44.143.26 (talk) 17:26, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
