3. Biggest Fallacy Of the Common Core Standards Article Review

          After reading this article on common core it is apparent that this is a very controversial subject. Forty five out of America's fifty states have agreed to use the Common Core Standards. The author of this article expresses how much he disagrees with the common core, and the forty five states which agreed to pass it. The Article explains how very low percentages of blacks, english language learners, and students with disabilities pass the common core tests which are given.

        The author of this article actually seems to make a very strong arguement. The Common Core Standards really seems to be in place for the wrong reasons. It seems that the main perk of it is that it makes money for the state. Money is great and its great that the states are making more of it, but these states are at the same time sacraficing the well being of their students. Blacks, dissabled students, and english learning students all have less than a twenty percent pass rate. This is an awful statistic. It seems like the common core creates immposible standards for the students being subjected to it. I can understand that the country wants to keep up with foreign countries like Finland in the education field, but they are killing the students by doing this. To me it seems like it's more about money and not the well being of the students. I really agree with the author and believe he made some solid points. There is no evidence that the Common Core Standards bennefit students subject to it whatsoever.
