Is there anything "common" left in Common Core? - 0 views

  •  
    From the article, which highlights the divisive turn conversations about the Core have taken: "The debate over the Common Core is now caught up in a larger fight about the merits of education reform writ large. In this increasingly toxic environment, Common Core has become one more conspiracy to uncover, one more grand scheme for the fringe on the right and left to fight against."
