quote:

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.

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.

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.

Those teachers are probably jumping with joy, regardless of political inclination.

Good. It's a waste of time.

They create it so we can keep pace with China's mathletes...who steal all our tech any way.
