what happened to finding out SATs are next week once a year? lol
My opinion is that common core is trying to increase the number of successful applicants that graduate from universities. People often leave high school without the ability to support a claim with hard evidence. that's an important life skill most on this forum wouldn't know anything about. they end up taking (and failing) remedial classes because their parents didn't give a big enough fuck about their educational progress to keep track. Now they are making the teachers and schools responsible.. not really fair to teachers imo.. they do enough for little pay as it is.
after reading the expectations of students under common core.. it just looks like college preparatory curriculum to me..

what you leave out in the assessment is the money factor that universities now place on students. incoming and continuing students are income for the university, and the longer they stay then the longer the university gets money. my degree plan has been changed by the university of houston twice, and because of that i have 18hrs that count for nothing even though i was told by my adviser that they would satisfy requirements for my degree plan. adviser still has a job for being terrible at it, but he politics his words and keeps kids enrolled. most kids don't put up with bullshit like that these days, and the universities don't feel as if they are doing anything wrong because the money numbers check out very well for them.
