An effort to repeal Alabama's use of Common Core State Standards in public schools is back in the state Legislature.
The Senate Education Policy Committee on Wednesday will hold a public hearing on a bill by Sen. Rusty Glover, R-Semmes, that would repeal the standards the state Board of Education voted to adopt in 2010.
Glover, a former high school history teacher, says he hears more from people about Common Core than all other issues combined and that the vast majority of teachers and parents he has talked to oppose the standards.
Among complaints Glover says he hears are that parents and grandparents can't help young children with their math homework anymore because of new methods and that English classes focus less on classical literature and more on informational texts.
"They (teachers) really can't say anything openly because there is pressure from up top not to," Glover said.
The Common Core standards are a list of concepts that students should grasp at each grade level. They apply to math and English language arts.

Good
I deal with it as a parent of two in the system and can tell you the horror stories are indeed true. Although in AL it's technically not common core. They rename the program into something else to escape the dreaded and negative Common core verbiage.

The math right now is just dumb. The answer to the problem doesn't even matter anymore. And I can't even show my 10 year old long division to help him quickly find the answer. Instead, he has to know some ridiculous method that is completely out of the way to finding the answer.
It's literally the dumbest bullshit I've ever seen, and I've been to a shit ton of games at Bryant-Denny.

You have it all wrong, good sir.
1+7 = x
(1*1) + (7*7) = -4x
(3*1)-(2*1) + (49/7) = x
(3)-(2) + 7 = x
1 + 7 = x
potatoe = x
