There is a saying: The proof is in the pudding. The pudding is the world-wide ratings in the areas of math, reading and science. Each year the USA drops lower in each category because our so-called education system is a total disgrace. The new-fangled programs with the cute names do nothing to educate the children - they simply make the matters worse. This country needs to toss out these newer programs and their protagonists and go back to educational systems that actually worked. This will never happen because the current educational philosophy rewards the appearance of education more than it rewards actual learning.
While I agree with you on today's system , one has to consider that fewer and fewer parents get involved. Also common core is nothing but a money making program. More and more of today's teachers are taking job for the wrong reasons also and often school boards are overseen by morons.
