COMMON CORE: "ONE SIZE FITS ALL"- WHAT YOU REALLY SHOULD KNOW

What is Common Core?  Who developed Common Core?  Does it really ensure that all students graduate from high school with skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in college, career and life?  How is it possible that an “Education in a box” with a “one size fits all mentality” … can really work for individual students?  How deeply connected is Common core on the Federal level vs State level?  Does the Federal Government govern the Common Core State Standards?  How much will it cost the states to implement the Common Core State Standards?  And, what is the connection between Common Core and Islam?

Debbie Barth, and her OTC Panel ... Linda J. Alexander, Eileen Brown, Sandy Estlow, and Bea Kunz … will be tackling this subject that seems to have more questions, than answers. Whether or not, you have children in school … everyone is affected by the implementation of Common Core, within our school systems, statewide.  This is one show that you don’t want to miss.  In fact we have some callers weighing in, that will definitely get your attention.  What they have to say about Common Core may shock and dismay you.
