To Common Core......OR NOT?

From The Hour: Cafero is not the first Connecticut politician to raise concerns about the Common Core. Earlier this month state Senate Minority Leader and gubernatorial hopeful John McKinney, R-28, called for Pryor's resignation over the Common Core and educator evaluation plans.
In late January, Gov. Dannel Malloy and the General Assembly's Democratic leadership said a work group would be convened to discuss Common Core implementation and would solicit input from educators.
Nationally, the debate has spilled over from more Republican-leaning states into more liberal ones. Opposition to the Common Core is mounting in New York, where in January, the New York State Union of Teachers withdrew its support for the Common Core "as implemented and interpreted by New York State" in a unanimous vote of no confidence from the union's board in Albany.


Common Core or not? At least Connecticut is asking teachers what they think. What do you think? What do you think about how our Board is implementing it? 

Teachers, how do you feel? Parents?
