It is against federal law for the U.S. government to either create, fund or mandate a national curriculum. While the CCSS does detail what English and math skills every student needs to know at the end of each grade, there is no mandate as to how these standards should be taught. Therefore, argues the CCSS website, Common Core is not an official curriculum.
Local school boards should therefore just say NO to Common Core.
“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”
