    Common core is corporate extortion paid for by Gates, Achieve et.al. The common core has not been validated or field tested anywhere. There is no evidence whatsoever that common core will do anything but discourage students and teachers with a developmentally inappropriate curriculum and it evil twin, common core tests. It’s shameful that the National PTA has taken large sums of money from Gates and now supports common core enthusiastically. Shame on you. Either you do not care about children, you’re only in it for the money or you’re heads are in the sand.
