Agree

Yes

The ideology of democracy supports the idea of equal opportunity and access to quality education for all, which Common Core standards aim to provide. However, democracy also values the input and control of local entities, which might be somewhat compromised by a national standard.

Slightly agree

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

Slightly agree

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

Democracy values the principle of subsidiarity, which supports decisions being made at the most local level possible. However, it also balances this with the need for equal opportunities, which might be better served through some level of national standardization.

Neutral

Disagree

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