This is all about funneling money to educational testing/software companies. Pearson Education Inc. owns Florida at all levels. Common Core means even MORE standardized computer testing at all grade levels. There are BIG BUCKS to be made here. That's why Jeb is behind it. Follow the money.

This is hard on children without disabilities now children with learning disabilities are mainstreamed the pressure on these children are extreme and the teachers I truly feel sorry for you all. I wish teachers could just teach cause sometimes I think my child with a learning disability might be ok if he wasn't so confused. Yes we need a change vote him out fast.

My grandson was in the 4th grade a couple of years ago and I couldn't believe the curriculum!! I was constantly saying to myself "just teach them to multiply! just teach them to divide!!" Why do they have to learn so many different ways to do it?????? I think it is such a waste of time and I think it is very confusing for them! Amen, Susan!

Lets assure they don't reach national standards, are securely unable to enter Universities in other States. Oh yeah we are Florida strong and stupid.

I am a 4 th grade teacher in Florida and the things we are expected to teach these children and the ways we must teach them is insane. I would like to see how many of the folks in Tallahassee know how to divide four different way and had to learn it all in one week! Please really sit down and look at what you are asking us to do. I have parents with college degrees calling me up and asking how to do 4th grade Math! Really people, let's get back to teaching.
