Another fascist idea going away. The Federal Gov has no business dictating what children will learn and how they will learn it. That is what communist dictatorships do. This is really good news.

I have family members that are lifelong educators. They can't stand common core because it ties their hands and does not allow them to teach. They have to teach to the lowest common denominator which holds other students back. It relates to the everyone is an athlete and everyone gets a trophy mentality. I don't want my child to be common...I want her to be taught. Not everyone is equal at everything. Teaching to the lowest common denominator and then passing them on instead of failing them and making them repeat is not doing anyone or our nation any favors. Thank you for taking it away Ms DeVos.

I have yet to meet a teach who likes common core. It was a bad idea from the start. It had nothing to do with improving education, although that is how it was sold. It was all about gov control from the very top. Thank God it is gone.

Cpl Joshua Caldwell - AMEN...let teachers teach. My daughter goes to private school where they can teach and hold students accountable for their grades. She is dual enrolled in college over the past year. She struggled in Math in High School but when she took College Algebra at the local college she passed with a 98 average. We have friends who have kids in public school and they struggle at college.

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth - in colonial times they taught Latin and Greek in grade school, now we teach remedial English in college.

Common Core was originally created and put together by the states working together. It was started by Arizona Governor Napolitano. It has been a state led initiative and only supported by the last administration. For more information on the history of Common Core see here:

I wouldn't mind having national standards for math, English, and civics, and nothing else.

So long as those standards are a performance test and not a standard teaching curriculum I'll agree with you. Tired of my kids getting questions marked wrong when they got the answer right, but didn't use the common core bubble count to answer it.
