Cookie-Cutter Education
While supporters insist that Common Core is not a curriculum but rather a set of standards and goals, some experienced educators proclaim otherwise. Common Core state standards finely detail exactly what is taught when grade-by grade, as well as how it is taught.
Some say that Common Core was a sneaky way to get around the legal barriers that prohibit a nationwide federally-enforced curriculum. Common Core also takes the teaching power away from teachers.
