Thank Goodness Texas Opted Out of Common Core

The state of Texas opted out of Common Core as a philosophy and curricula several years ago. It has been a disaster nationwide as the 2019 results have been published.

For the third time in a row since Common Core was fully phased in nationwide, U.S. student test scores on the nation’s broadest and most respected test have dropped, a reversal of an upward trend between 1990 and 2015. Further, the class of 2019, the first to experience all four high school years under Common Core, is the worst-prepared for college in 15 years, according to a new report.

Georgetown ISD needs to focus on teaching students how to read, write cursive, and perform mathematics. They have 4 failing schools that need the attention of the school board and the superintendent.

Purge all elements of common core that have snuck into the curricula and teaching process would be a good first step and the nationwide results cited above show that it is a failed experiment in educating the nations young people.
