No. History has shown that when such things are enacted then we tend to "Teach to the Test". Kids today can't tell you one country from another and know nothing of history, and what history we do teach is sanitized and watered down.

No, standarized testing does not teach students anything except how to study for the test. It would be better to actually teach students information they can you instead of how to take a test.

Yes, but with flexibility. Children don't all learn the same way and should not have to be taught the same way. However, we should have standards that we hold our schools and teachers to, although a uniform set of testing standards should not be the only metric.

Testing is important for data, but should not be used for negative affects on students. Students should be encouraged to learn about the issues in school that interest them instead of roughly learning about little bits of every branch. Students should be divided by their strengths, not held back in classes due to vast academic differences. The states should control all of this, for it is too much for the national government to take on. Money should be fundamentally dispersed through every school, not depending on school district. Their should also be encouragement for businesses and companies to donate to education and build curriculums. This can be done by many incentives including government tax breaks.

Education in the United States is in desperate need for reform. Not only does the curriculum need to adapt to a changing marketplace, but also costs of education needs to either be subsidized by the government or provided through a nation wide education tax fund.

All children should be able to know English and Math at each grade level. However: NOT all children will be entering two or four year colleges. Some children will end up in trade schools.

National standards can be a good thing, as long as special needs students are exempted, & not put through the demeaning experience of these inappropriate tests. It's poverty and unemployment of the adults in families that is the factor most seriously impacting low academic performance.

Educational standards should be uniform throughout the United States, but it must start with parents/students committed to learning. Empower GOOD teachers and strong administrators to implement high standards.

In principle yes, but the entire education system here needs to be overhauled to provide the opportunity of high quality education to ALL students regardless of background and location.

No, Common Core removes the ability of a teacher to meet the needs of individual students
