I started researching this topic on the USM library databases online. I was able to find information on the subject very easily. The articles I found were very accurate and reliable. Common core is something that many people are very passionate about. I would definitely want to research this topic further to see how it all plays out, and if the standards can actually be implemented and do what they are designed to do, which is prepare our children for the future. This topic was very personal to me because I have four children, two of which are already in the public school system.
It has become one of the most politically debated topics in the state in years. Some parents and tea partyers have even called it the Muslim takeover of the schools. Since there has been so much backlash, republicans have distanced themselves from the standards.
This is a link to the actual standards for the state of Mississippi...
