Katie Waite on 24 Jan 14The article goes over many of the issues that parents, teachers, and children are having with common core. Parents are noticing children having an increased stressed level which they attribute to common core. In the authors opinion, teachers are required to follow a script, for fear of job loss. Some programs have also been cut from school like PE and Music.

aluengas on 31 Jan 15I don't think the common core is good. Kids at the age of 6 should not be stressed. The programs that have been cut were actually a good way for kids to engage and explore in what they are really interested in for the future time.

anonymous on 31 Jan 15No six year old or any child should be stressed out about school until at least high school. The core is defiantly not a good thing to have for any education.

lukemclellan on 03 Feb 15the fact that schools have to cut programs just to support this "teaching style/ criteria" is insane. Music and gym and various other activities are ways for kids to get out of the cultural norm of academia and express themselves. I cant even imagine what my school would of been like without those things.
