Countries with standardized curricula tend to outperform those with chaotic systems like the United States.

It would appear that each of commenters 1 and 2 is half right. That was a failing score when I was in school.

The federal role in education is relatively new, and, yes, our schools overall perform substantially below the rest of the developed world. As for the Common Core, the educators I know think the idea is good, but it is too early to test kids on the Common Core, because the curriculae of most schools do not presently match the Common Core. There are problems with it, but rolling it back is not the solution.

I don’t know enough about the details of this law. However, one thing is obvious to anyone with an IQ on the positive side of zero. Common Core is a totally imbecilic, corrupt, and damaging concept. No wonder that the greatest teachers refuse to implement it, and some notable teachers have already chosen to leave the field of teaching rather than to be subjected to this ridiculous curriculum. Anything that promotes Common Core should be vetoed, and anything that removes it should be supported.
