$400 Million Wasted! Common Core Program Delivers Worst ACT Scores in Living Memory

Parents and teachers across the nation have been urging schools to dump the toxic Common Core curriculum, arguing that it deliberately dumbs down children and creates unnecessary and complicated methods for working out relatively simple problems.

Last week, creators of the ACT test announced that scores for the class of 2018 are the worst reported in living memory. Math scores, in fact, are in freefall among U.S. high school graduates, falling to their lowest level in generations, according to The Condition of College and Career Readiness 2018, the ACT’s annual report..

“The percentage of ACT-tested graduates who met or surpassed the ACT College Readiness Benchmark in math—suggesting they are ready to succeed in a first-year college algebra class—fell to its lowest level since 2004,” the report declared, with only 40 percent of 2018 graduates meeting the benchmark, “down from a high of 46% in 2012.”

The average score on the ACT math test dropped to its lowest level in 20 years — 20.5 on a scale of 1 to 36. American students scored 21.1 in 2012 and 20.7 last year.

“The negative trend in math readiness is a red flag for our country, given the growing importance of math and science skills in the increasingly tech-driven US and global job market,” said ACT CEO Marten Roorda. “It is vital that we turn this trend around for the next generation and make sure students are learning the math skills they need for success in college and career.”

But it’s not just math scores that have parents and educators concerned. Scores in other subjects are also falling through the floor, as Common Core’s founders, including Bill Gates, cast doubt on the future of the Common Core “experiment.”

“Readiness in English has also been trending down over the past several years, dropping from 64% in 2015 to 60% this year, the lowest level since the benchmarks were introduced,” according to the report. “Readiness levels in reading (46%) and science (36%) were both down one percentage point from last year but are showing no long-term trends either upward or downward. Science remains the subject area in which students are least likely to be prepared for college coursework.”

After spending $400 million on forcing schools around the country to adopt Common Core, Bill Gates has finally admitted that the controversial teaching method is a FAILURE, and significantly less effective than traditional teaching methods! #ma4t t.co/Ev34nXJqYr

it wasn't wasted
making everyone just as retarded as niggers is the whole point of (((common core)))

It's not common core. Kids are just getting dumber thanks to phones wrecking their attention span and teachers being college dropouts. Common core was a terrible idea because it follows in the footsteps of every child left behind, but it was only introduced recently. This has been happening for years.

Massive waste, massive corruption. As usual.

Linus should have fought harder.
He puased out and now the children suffer.

Oops it turns out its going to plan

There was a film made of this in the 80s.
To make an (((equal society))), everyone was made to wear a headband that reduced them to sub-optimal IQs. Occasionally a bright one would be born who would shine even despite the headband. These would be brought in to work in the management of the system, the few elite. Or killed off.
Funny how quickly this became a reality.
Home educate if you can.

Kek, the education system wasnt meant to educate you faggots

/thread. It's real purpose was to create a docile society of serfs.

I've literally heard liberals being sympathetic to the movie Idiocracy since Trump took office

...

harrison bergeron, a book which was actually written by a nevertrumper shitlib.

leftists are a self parody.

...

This farce cost $400M, but the damage it caused was orders of magnitude greater.

Here is the story and movie
archive.org/stream/HarrisonBergeron/Harrison Bergeron_djvu.txt

It's common core + the amount of brown and blacks in schools forcing the curriculum to need to be dumbed down SIGNIFICANTLY.

No, a lot of schools are ending up more and more segregated due to school choich, at least in my area. The issue is teachers are not payed enough, so often times they are not qualified, or are not very good. Teachers end up either not teaching and just getting you to pass tests, if they arent on tenure, or having a difficult class, due to not learning in previous classes, if they are on tenure.

Always back to this refrain. It's not that the teachers have been indoctrinated into a leftist cult that despises standardized tests and education in general because in education some students are better than others. It's not that those few actual teachers who make it through are not allowed to keep order in their classrooms because das raycis.

No amount of paying leftist goons more, nor hiring more of them, is going to get them to teach anything to anybody, nor even keep a classroom that is conducive to learning.

David Coleman is the real father of Common Core. Surprised?

You know, it's kind of funny but I remember that when I watched this in school the teacher tried to say that it was an anti-communism piece. Ironically enough the society of Harrison Bergeron would functionally be better than "real socialism™" because at least in the world of Harrison Bergeron the elites are actually competent and not just a hereditary class of cronies. Do they even teach about this story in school anymore? Seems like the kind of thing that the lefties would find problematic.Because the core message is really, simply that people aren't equal and that social classes will naturally form no matter what.

I actually first saw it in school a few years ago, maybe 2-3 years ago I think.

Not all teachers are left, some area, think thats more an issue with colleges than public schools.

The thing is, school choice allows parents who give a shit to remove their children from the disruptive children of parents who don't. Frequently, they are also removing their children from public schools which are unaccountable to the child's success into private schools which are accountable.


They don't all have to be. All you need is for leftist administration, and then maintaining an environment conducive to learning becomes "racist" (because it is frequently black and brown children who are the most disruptive, and leftist administrators and bleeding-heart leftist voters enable them).

Daily reminder your kids are already a half mil in debt excluding economic collapse/infinite inflation, non taxpayers, job obsoletion, ur mom, and you slave daily for this, supporting israel/your own genocide, and the frivolous occupation of your freeborn conscious will with falsity.>>693159

To continue my rant:

Black parents have been indoctrinated by leftists to believe that, if their child fails, it is because of the school. They didn't try because they are racist. The system is out to get them, and they have no control over the results. And the leftists teach that parents have no responsibility in the education of their children. The children think that school is racist torture, and that becoming learned is somehow betraying their race.

Brown parents came to America thinking that an American education would be some kind of magic bullet out of poverty. And they are received and indoctrinated by the same leftists, who put the same poison into the minds of the parents and children.

Yellow parents, however, come from places that knew the Chinese Imperial system. The parent works like hell to get their kid to pass the Public Service Exam, because if they do the child is set for life. The Chinese system was very competitive, with a lot of parental involvement and responsibility.

The white parents, by-and-large, have classical liberal beliefs. Even the most ardent leftists: that's why leftists move to "good" neighborhoods with "good" schools. Classical liberalism is like Social Darwinism: if your child fails it is their fault. A teacher directs learning, and is not responsible for your child's weaknesses. The parent is responsible to the education of the child.

Fuck off back to plebbit. Teachers are paid more than enough.

Why do you think schools cant get anyone with a degree in the things they teach? Why do schools get teachers who do not know anything about the subject, and just have a general education degree, and let them teach physics or calculus.

Teachers select "good" schools to teach at. Schools where they can actually teach. In schools that "teachers need more money", class is hell because the parents and administrators berate teachers for trying to maintain a learning environment. Why should teachers want to teach in an environment where it's racist to tell the kid to turn off the phone pay attention and its racist if the kid fails to learn because they were fucking with their phone the whole time?

Never heard of a school like that, is that from experience?

Hello Zig Forums fuck off

lol kike got triggered

Exactly! Maths and science are the basis of all our military technology, yet we continue to pour billions into keeping actors, athletes, singers, etc in the richest 1%.

First post best post, and kikes stay trigonometried.

Good. Someone with sense. I worked as a sub for a few years and kids today are allowed to have phones in class and it absolutely wrecks their ability to pay attention and absorb information. When I was in school during the flip phone era, we had to keep them in our lockers for emergencies only. I don't know what the fuck happened between then and now.

Common Core comes from one of the main asumptions from the left: tabula rasa.
Because everyone can be everything, underperformers can be blames on only one thing: the method the system used.
If you were to blame anything else, such as the student's attitudes to learning, their parent's cultural background when it comes to applying effort to school, and so on, you quickly veer into territory that threatens tabula rasa.
And since you, as a good lefty NPC drone, don't wanna be a racist bigot, you stop thinking through that troublesome path of logic and instead go back to blaming the method and modify it endlessly in a shitty sissyphean quest…

It's the current state of low class schools. You probably went to a better school.
