Is Common Core good enough?

This is a very important question for Kentucky, because we were the first to jump on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) bandwagon for math and English language arts.

Will our kids learn enough math and language skills to compete with the emerging fierce competition from overseas?

One commentator who clearly has doubts is Michelle Malkin. Read her latest concerns here.

As a note, Malkin references a number of sources whom I have corresponded with for many years. Comments from people like Stanford University professor James Milgram and long-time engineer and math instruction researcher Ze’ev Wurman cannot be casually dismissed.
