Back to school for so many students and it is remarkable about how much parents do not know what their own children will be learning. As with the additional funding in math and science from the federal government after the fear from Sputnik, American classrooms will significantly be altered by the adoption of the Common Core.

Although some politicians and political groups have tried hard to scare folks from the adoption of a national curriculum, the Common Core will help to get all children with similar learning targets throughout the country.
Shown above, my son Davidson is reading to a kindergarten student even though Davidson was in the 3rd grade. It is the ambitious goal of all third graders reading proficiently that the Common Core hinges its success. Let's all help our futures, our children's future, or our children children's future by understanding the Common Core.
