Louis C.K. was on Letterman and really did a great take down of Common Core. Thank you Louis C.K.!

"C.K. said the standardized testing system basically means “if a school’s kids don’t test well, they burn the school down.” He complained about how secretive the test-writing process is and bemoaned how too much of the school year is about prepping for the tests.
And he told Letterman he’s trying to help his daughters with their math work, but the questions are just nonsense like “Bill has three goldfish. He buys two more. How many dogs live in London?”

Why did I take so long to watch him, my son tried to tell me!
