The United States Common Core Standards Should Be Repealed

I carry all my rebuttals from the previous argument onto rebuttals to your rebuttals 1.standards are leading to this new curriculum Half true if you look at the sources I provide you would find that the setting of the curriculum is done by the states not the people behind common core thus it is distinctly not their fault when you clam that the curriculum is the fault of common core. I once again bring up the explanation of teaching multiplication if a student can not learning something because it is being taught improperly should you remove multiplication or should you change the way you teach it to make it better 2.even if it is the teachers fault, the only way to fix this is by training the teachers better. And in this day and age, we do not have enough money and resources to do this We would have plenty of money if numerous actions took place such as the removal of the Bush tax cuts, marginal reduction in military spending, or any number of wasteful spending the government doe but if killing people in the middle east is more important than educating your children than sure we have no money 3.we should stick with what we know Well if you want to consistently rank below countries like Vietnam and have America slowly fail to become the worlds leading innovator than yes we should stick with what we know however any improvement requires change so if you want to continue outdated standards than you do so at the determent of America 4.CCS website is a completely biased source and points from there should not be valid in this debate Really? Care to back that up with any sources? Because personally I find any government website to be less biased than newspaper articles which is the majority of your information. 5.These teachers, who are unable to teach the new curriculum well, are giving the children false and confusing information by mistake Than it is the teachers fault not the standards or it is the states by improperly implementing their curriculum not the standards themselves 6. if your school was ahead, you will be pushed backwards! It is actually much harder to control That is not common core that is the no child left behind law passed by the George W Bush administration. Please fact check instead of resorting to sensationalism 7.with the government in control of everything, states and school districts are unable to make their own choices about curriculum I'm going to put this in all caps so this can not be missed EACH STATE FORMULATED THEIR OWN CURRICULUM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID NOT CREATE ANY CURRICULUM THEY ONLY SET THE STANDARDS 8. Massachusetts only improved by 0.03% Yes and that small percentage has Massachusetts with the best schools systems in America and some of the highest test scores in the world 9.higher test scores does not mean higher knowledge." well than I recommend you go work with the LA Times to find a better way to evaluate students in a efficient manner 10.A. Keep this confusing curriculum and change nothing. B. Go back to the old, decent, UNDERSTANDABLE methods of teaching. Or you could create better curriculum with more funding from the federal government which i perfectly feasible 11. math is necessary, but without creativity it is not as useful. As I said before the people of Google did not build Google using creativity it may of certainly helped it was coding that brought Google to the world 12.Tests cannot take that long. Thank you for clarifying on your test issues but if these test are a problem petition for a change in the curriculum don't just get rid of standards which do not set the curriculum. 13.Con has no points and no valid refutes Well lets have the voters decide that because I say the same to you Conclusions Common Core may have a shaky refutation in the media but in reality it helps deliver an equal level of schooling to all Americas. Con has sensationalized the fear that comes with change and has used poor curriculum as proof that the common core standards are bad. Thus I ask you is it really a bad thing to demand that ever America student be taught the same thing at similar speeds or should we go back to our disorganized old way of teaching. Common Core has already brought Massachusetts to global prominence in education is it not time that America not followed.
