I found a short video that explains how the Common Core came about. It is very informative!

I think it is good that our nation has come to a common agreement of standards to teach. The highest performing countries across the world have common teaching standards. I don’t think that change will happen over night, but in the long run, I can see our nation moving back towards the top, as a result. What are your thoughts? Opinions? If you are amongst the majority of the states (44 as of 12/8/2012) that have adopted these standards…how has it affected your teaching or classroom?
