Florida eliminating Common Core

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is axing Common Core from state schools via an executive order. The announcement comes after DeSantis said he’s heard parents express "frustration with Common Core and Testing.” DeSantis said he will work with the Florida Department of Education, teachers and parents about how the changes will take place. and new standards. Florida currently uses a variation of Common Core it calls Florida Standards. Florida’s version also focuses on cursive writing, the additional of calculus in high school math and identifying the value of money in math problems. DeSantis' order would require the existing standards be examined and any elements of Common Core removed.

Good it’s crap. If Mississippi could survive by eliminating CC without having its federal dollars pulled every teacher here would rejoice. It’s a big joke.

Ill be honest....my wife and i have both taken turns trying to figure out what our daughter's homework is asking. My wife does like the format for the most part but....there are times its beyond comprehension

That's a start!
I hate that stuff. Hardest stuff ever to try to tutor. You have to relearn how to do things..and mostly it's a round-about way to get the answer rather than just doing the problem (in math)
It's like driving to Alexandria from Lake Charles..via Baton Rouge.

It isn't the common core itself that is so bad. It is the broad adoption of Engage NY that is the problem. The principles are sound but many districts have said that this is the only way we are teaching it and it has to be worked a particular way to be correct.
I'm a high school physics teacher and there are times it takes me 30+ minutes with worked examples to figure out exactly what the hell my 4th graders homework is asking him to do. Seeing him getting questions wrong with the correct answer because he did the math in his head in 5 seconds rather than draw 47 boxes and then count some random arse dots infuriates me beyond all belief.

Hope “Straight Shooter” Kay Ivey follows suit

People knew it was a sham from the get-go. It's core was based on NYC school standards, and I've NEVER known NYC schools to be highly revered

Desantis is doing well so far with this and expanding medical marijuana.
Common Core in Florida is an abomination for everyone.
Have a 10th and 12th grader myself. Better late than never.

Has your 12th grader decided where they want to go to school and what major?

It's not just the math(which is a complete joke), but I love how my 4th grade daughter's indoctrination is going. Around election time it was all about taxes are good, public workers are the only reason we survive, and how we all need to petition for more. Now after MLK, and the lead up to black history month it's that all white people are racis.
Gotta love common core!!!

They still waste time on cursive writing?

I’m interested to know more about this. Are there any pics of this online?

This is the only reason it is opposed by so many republicans
