In the conclusion, this article somewhat just drops in 'Common Core' as a cause, while not having discussed it in any of the earlier points.
My understanding is that Common Core is a name for baseline common material.
This is leaping from a series of arguments around High Performing schools, then at end brings in Common Core which is a lowest common denominator of material.
It seems a leap, there should have been some more reasoning to lead to that conclusion. What is the option? That some kids should be allowed to progress without learning material? Because it is stressful to learn the basic math in Common Core?
