Remember Robert Small's arrest 9/23/13 in Towson MD?
The "Common Core State Standards" and its affiliated "PARCC" testing standards (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) have been proposed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers as a means to implement a single set of federal educational standards and testing across the 50 states.
You can read their statements here.
However, once the federal government made participation in Common Core a requirement to receive Race To The Top funding and more was learned about this effort, teachers, legislators, parents, churches and others began to raise serious questions about its real motives and benefits.
