You covered many points that I’m very concerned about too, such as the cost and data mining. Identity theft in children is growing & can go on for years without the parents knowledge. When was the last time you pulled your child’s credit report? Our school district cannot afford Common Core. Superintendent Pons estimates that we need 6 to 10 million dollars for a technology upgrade to give the Common Core computer tests on-line. Where is that money going to come from? Property owners are the tax payers of our school system. We just bought new text books to align with the end of course exams in Algebra One & Geometry. We really cannot afford new textbooks from kindergarten to 12 grade. That would take over the whole budget for our schools. Common Core is not proven by any international or national benchmarks. There are just too many string attached. It is time to put the breaks on Common Core.
