about this Common Core. I've heard some good things about it, but I remain extremely skeptical especially in light of NCLB and the profit motive being a part of our public education system. There seems to be a part in Common Core that may start allowing teachers to actually teach their students critical thinking and problem solving skills instead of merely to the test. Its just tragic a whole generation of children got screwed because of NCLB.
