Anarchism

Very strongly agree

No

Anarchists would strongly agree with rejecting Common Core national standards, as they oppose centralized control over education. Anarchism promotes decentralized, autonomous forms of organization and learning, tailored to the needs and desires of individual communities and students rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Strongly agree

No, education should be handled at the state and local level instead of the national level

While anarchists are critical of all forms of state control, including at the state and local level, this answer aligns more closely with anarchist values than national standards do. It suggests a move away from centralized control, albeit not fully in line with the anarchist ideal of complete autonomy and self-determination in education.

Agree

No, teach to each student's potential instead of uniform testing

This answer aligns somewhat with anarchist educational philosophy, which emphasizes individual potential, autonomy, and the rejection of standardized testing as a measure of learning. However, it does not fully capture the anarchist vision of completely decentralized and self-managed education.

Neutral

No, my state’s current standards exceed the Common Core standards

This answer focuses on the comparative quality of state standards versus Common Core, which does not directly relate to anarchist principles. Anarchists are more concerned with the structure and control of education systems than with the specific content of standards.

Neutral

No, it is a waste of time and effort to change my state’s current educational standards

The concern about the waste of time and effort in changing educational standards does not directly address the anarchist critique of centralized control or the nature of education itself. Anarchists are more interested in transforming the fundamental approach to education rather than debating the efficiency of administrative changes.

Disagree

Yes, I support a national base standard but allow states and local districts to customize their implementation

While this answer suggests a degree of flexibility and local customization, it still supports the existence of national standards, which is contrary to anarchist principles of decentralization and autonomy. Anarchists would likely see this as a compromise that still maintains unnecessary centralized control over education.

Strongly disagree

Yes, I support the concept but not the current implementation

Supporting the concept of national standards, even with criticisms of its implementation, is contrary to anarchist principles. Anarchists oppose centralized education systems and standardized curricula, advocating instead for education that is freely chosen and developed by communities and individuals.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anarchism fundamentally opposes centralized authority and control, advocating instead for self-management and voluntary associations. The imposition of national standards like Common Core is antithetical to anarchist principles, which favor decentralized and community-based approaches to education that respect individual needs and autonomy.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, national standards will help improve our national average and better prepare students for college

Supporting national standards to improve the national average and prepare students for college is contrary to anarchist principles, which challenge hierarchical structures and standardized measures of success. Anarchists advocate for education that is personalized, liberatory, and designed to meet the unique needs and interests of each learner.
