Common Core coming to DoD schools

“It’s a deliberate attempt to do it over a period of time, properly resourced, with professional development and supplies and instructional materials to make it happen,” Brady said, adding that to try and make it all happen simultaneously in all grade levels “would just be too much.”
DoDEA is transitioning to what it calls College and Career Ready standards, which are based in large part on the Common Core standards adopted by 43 states and the District of Columbia.

Is this good or bad for kids? Can anyone really break down Common Core for me without political bias? TIA

DoD is doing the right thing.
Common Core is just a set of standards each student should meet by a certain point in their school careers to advance.
Common Core does NOT set a curriculum.

The more I think about it, the less I care about Common Core. It's just teaching a different way to the same solution as far as I can tell. Sure it looks excessive to me now, but so does a lot of the grade school math work I did back in the day.
How does it affect other subjects? I feel like math problems are the only examples ever given.

I do not believe that this is possible.

There's nothing wrong with Common Core.
It only covers English and Math. That's it.
It treats math the way it's supposed to be treated, like a logic. Math is more than memorization. It's critical thinking. That's why you have children who do well in arithmetic and struggle in Algebra. They are looking at it wrong.
Most teachers oppose it because it shows how inadequate they are in teaching the subject

The problem IMO is holding everyone in this country to exact same rigid standards makes the standards overly vague and often watered down. Even state standards can often be confusing and leave out many important things while inuding silly things.
Doing it on a national level just makes it worse IMO

I don't think common core is some great thing, but there's nothing especially nefarious or counterproductive about it either. I love how the people complaining about it all hail from the shittiest school districts in the country.
Typical.
