It is called 'Common Core' and the idea behind it is reasonable.

States working together to create national standards for education.

Standards that are 'designed to be robust and relevant to the real world'.

Ben has the Reality Check you won't see anywhere else.

Two Powerful anti-Common Core Articles.

Common Core — new national education standards that the federal government is bribing and coercing states to adopt — will harm students, not benefit them.
