No I support state standards and we should not force kids to retake classes if they fail.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

No. There should be basic standards that apply to all, but there should also be the ability to teach to the child's ability regardless of what that ability level may be. Our current system is teaching to the test instead of providing an education.

 @gabehwknsanswered…4yrs4Y

No, but limited national standards can be established as a foundation from which schools can work from

 @heatherdvdprincessanswered…3yrs3Y

No, schools should teach life skills and soft skills, not stuff that won't significantly enhance their life. School should be made according to cutting edge research on learning, and if they do that, then kids will love school, and more will be able to be done in less time, which means more time for family and developing their own unique skills and passions.
Standardized testing should also be modified so that there is no high stakes testing, and so teachers don't teach to the test. It should be mastery based and use small quizzes to ensure they are ready to move on.
We should also add parenting, marriage happiness, home economics, and financial literacy to the common core.

Nationalize all educational institutions (e.g. schools, colleges, universities, etc) in the U.S. and ensure free and public education, where a High School diploma or a GED shall be one of the requirements to attend a college or university

- K-4, 5-8, 9-12 grade levels
- Monotheistic religious education should be introduced (or reintroduced) as a school subject
- Socially useful school subjects should take priority over other subjects, while any non-socially useful class subjects shall be optional (in the form of electives)
- By the U.S. law, every public school must be required to establish 20 as the limit on the number of students per classroom

 @9284RDV from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Integarte a mastery system which caters to the individual development of the student as opposed to standardized measurements

 @8H4DF7B from Arizona  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but allow states to exceed it and also implement it in their own way. Also, increase learning skills over test taking skills.

 @2VP298Qanswered…5yrs5Y

No, the standards aren't adequate to the needs of the country, nor do they help each child reach their potential.

 @6R6HBQ3 from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

 @7RGBCQB from Alabama  answered…4yrs4Y

No, it is terrible, it is bad, and it is a joke. It represents a top-down approach to education. Also, we need to teach to each student's potential instead of uniform testing, because all standardized tests do is draw everybody to the same mediocre average.

 @DreamBlueonE from Nevada  answered…3yrs3Y

Home school and unschool is under attack and I want to make sure we all have the freedom to choose the education but I understand the school system need a full rehaul and it should be better and universal to the world not whatever your plan will be wrong

 @78S5M87 from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

abolish the Department of Education, and let it be up to the student, teacher, and parents what education a child receives.

 @88NZKDZ from New York  answered…3yrs3Y

No, education should not be managed by government or private businesses. Instead, it should be syndicated by educators in the industry. They should collectively decide on a basic national curriculum and then locally, each teacher union should decide on local curriculum.

 @89CDM9C from Kansas  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes and no. I support a base standard for basic reading, writing, math, science, and U.S. Constitution knowledge and skills. The rest should be up to the state and/or local governments to decide.

 @8CMCHPM from Indiana  answered…4yrs4Y

The concept is good but not the current implementation. Also, we should not be worried about students achieving standardized test scores - these are pointless and only teach a student how to take a test and then forget the information.

  @benethan10 from Iowa  answered…4yrs4Y

I think the idea that all schools should teach the same subjects and students should have an advanced understanding of science, math, English, and social sciences, however, the common core can be a bit restricting on what teachers can teach to their students. Adding more freedom to the system would be beneficial, especially when certain aspects of the common core are not as beneficial to a student's learning when more important topics could be taught but are left to the wayside in lessons since the common core did see them as important. Cthulu forgive we leave something out of the common core in lieu of something more relevant and important to student growth.

 @8HCRRMJ from Idaho  answered…4yrs4Y

Common Core is fine. But instead of letting anyone skate by with a D or almost an F require a C and let the children fail. It will motivate them to try harder.

  @8JBN6KV from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

No. I do not support what they have become. This needs a complete overhaul.

 @8KWL5K3 from Pennsylvania  answered…4yrs4Y

No, They force teachers to teach a broad and shallow depth of knowledge and prevent students from genuinely comprehending subjects on a deeper level because time has to be spent quickly covering all topics.

 @8LSVCGK from New Jersey  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but the states should be encouraged, at least to add some supplements behind it. School districts should follow both common core and state supplements, but it is up to the school to add their own supplemental curiculum

 @8MCVG8W from Michigan  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8PMF46F from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

Regardless, education should be handled at the state level. Also, common core does not confront the reality that every student does not learn the same and our methods of teaching need to better reflect that.

 @8QYJVXR from Michigan  answered…4yrs4Y

They should until 10th grade and teach to each student's potential and wants

 @8R6XFJ6 from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

I think the education system needs to be rebuilt for newer generations. also, we should change how and what they learn.

 @8RM3NHC from Mississippi  answered…4yrs4Y

yes and no, I believe there should be loose standards, but they should also be flexible for students who need more time to understand certain subjects

 @8T3NTTG from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

There needs to be a national standard but the math needs to be revamped to be more applicable to the average American voter, there needs to be a sex-ed class, and history needs to be taught with critical race theory

 @8TF44GJ from Washington  answered…4yrs4Y

No, Common Core kills critical thinking, and I hate it with every fiber of my being

  @8TKFNNS from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but we should restart it with Pro American Values known as American Parriots Education Values.

No. The current education system teaches every child as though they all learn the same, which is completely ridiculous. We are so far behind any other thriving country when it comes to the way we educate our children.
