Quote from Rob Port: At this point, I honestly believe that Common Core is a big nothing as an issue. It’s yet another top-down, “silver bullet” education policy of the sort that seems to sweep the nation every decade or so. Several years hence, after it fails to produce the results proponents tout, it’ll be replaced by a new fad. (As a teacher for 35 years, I experienced this over and over again. Personally speaking, I think the government should take the money they spend on such transient, unsuccessful programs and instead spend it on training/finding creative, successful teachers, and let them teach the way they know best - without government interference.)
