Alabama is the first state to adopt a standardized testing system for the Common Core standards, a controversial national school program. An effort to repeal Common Core was killed in a state senate committee last month, but opponents aren't giving up.

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'.

Sounds good, so why is there growing opposition in Ohio and around the country to Common Core?

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

It seems like private school or home school are the only options left unless you move to a state that doesn't use this.
