First and foremost is the fact that, in the USA, standardization-and-centralization of any
educational function leads to: An overall lowering of standards to
appease the worst performing parts of our student-AND-teacher populations [As endorsed by Mr. B. H.
Obama and others]; Probable "teaching
to/for the tests AND the expected-and-demonstrated faking of test results;
Probable suppression of those schools which are willing to take risks. leave standard methods AND
achieve excellence; Such "standard", centralized and
"politically correct" schools as MPS failing to properly educate pupils/students, commonly at a cost
higher than non-conforming schools; And, abuse of the "Common Core"
non-system to meet the corrupt views
of some teachers'/schools.
Educational programs can be formed and corrupted by: Giving-or-withholding of Federal funds ; And, towards the policies of one Party OR some "Glorious Leader".
What most specially seems to be lacking is a scientific pre-testing ("Reliable and valid" and with a "high level of confidence") of "Common Core" by some qualified scientists who have "no ax to grind". [That lack reminds me far too much of the very recent failure of the effectively untested web-site for "Obamacare" and the ongoing unknowns as to its ability to truly deliver useful and econonmicall-sounhinsurance.]
