[quote=flu]Out of curiosity…I am sort of curious what percentage of the people that like ccm are STEM degreed/career oriented people.[/quote]
Two of my kids are in STEM schools, which I believe have to put priority on common core. Common core doesn’t worry me as long as my kids are given full opportunity to participate in honors math and nerd classes up to their abilities and my and my wifes interests. The thing is common core is not going to hurt them anymore than it is going to help the kids who can’t meet standards. Even before honors and tiger parent electives the brighter and or more facilitated kids in the younger also common core grades are getting pretty good educations. The kids the teacher and parents overcome” teaching to the test problems”.
For most kids It still really comes down to how bright are you and who all is on your side.
