It only gets worse by Junior High. Part of their grade is SHARED with the other students. If other students refuse to do the work, it could drage their grade down. My son is experiencing this now.
Fundamentals? What fundamentals? If you want your kid to learn fundamentals, you better teach them to your child yourself. Or they might get around to having the other kids discover them TOGETHER as a group. It's really a disaster. They're using our kids as lab rats. This is the idea of global corporations.
CORE is an international corporation based in India.

In just a 9-year span a globalized educational program referred to as CORE or Common CORE has made its way to 14 countries globally according to an official presentation. In fact, according to the document Innovating To Transform the World, Cores intervention benefits more than 35 million students, 60,000 youth, 105,000 teachers, and 88,000 schools globally.[1]
CORE is all about transforming the education spectrum in grades K-12.
"COREs main directive is seeking to achieve the transformation of nations by revolutionizing the key building blocks of education, namely Teaching, Learning, Assessment & Governance. In other words, its 100% globalist sponsored propaganda."

It's not about educating the young. Not in the public schools, not in the private or charter schools. It's about making OBEDIENT WORKERS. This is exists through out ALL educational institutions. Everyone is bickering over nothing, it is a distraction. Home-school your children, and do not pay attention to state standards, or else your children are doomed.
From Reality blogger;
"Now, keeping in mind my own ignorance of just what Common CORE actually was, I am going to treat you, the reader, with the same disposition. My shock and awe at what was revealed in this report will likely have the same jaw-dropping effect upon you that it had on me. And even the armchair activist will be shocked at what is revealed within…
As I read the first page, I knew I was looking at the New Order of things to come – a global system of so-called workforce education that is quickly spreading across not just the United States, but the entire “civilized” planet. Over a blue light bulb with all of the continents of earth upon it, the cover-sheet’s title exclaims:
“CORE – Innovating To Transform The World”
One of the first things I noticed is that this is not a typical AFR. As the world becomes increasingly globalized, the rules and regulations for corporations becomes more model and uniform. Thus, I realized right away that this Annual Report was not American in origin. Indeed, this for-profit education corporation that teaches American children and teachers hails not from the United States – but from India.
The third section of the cover sheet continues, with poor sentence structure and grammatical error, to expand upon this theme of “Innovating To Transform The World”. If you can, try and imagine this paragraph in your mind with an Indian Accent:
“The world is changing at a much faster pace today than one would have imagined a decade ago. The way innovations of yesteryears like internet and mobility transformed the world today; innovations of today would go on to transform the world tomorrow. In the words of William Wordsworth, ‘The child is father of man’. Quite rightly, the shape of future lies in the hands of today’s youth. The responsibility to shape young minds and prepare them for a new world rests on Education. The world needs to renounce some age old practices in its education system and adopt a futuristic pedagogy. Core has been incubating innovations that are transforming the Education Systems worldwide – from the US to the UK; from India to the Middle East and Africa. With innovative interventions across Teaching, Learning, Assessment and Governance, the company is rigorously at work. Innovating today what will lead to a transformed world tomorrow.”
If you want answers, watch that video, or read that blog, it will scare you silly what they have planned.
