Common core state standards for ELA and Literacy:
What is the purpose of the college and career readiness standards?
Many of the subjects taught were very broad and different states were not all teaching the same curriculum. Common core came out in 2010 which will help all student in every state will be on the same page.
What are the benefits and challenges of the shift to reading and writing non fiction text?
Reading has been going down in all states , though non fiction is good for younger students, informational helps student prepare for college, and it wont be just English teachers but all teachers in every subject have students read informational text. The ability to read well effects a students writing. This will soon help kids learn how to write properly to help with getting a job and in college. It is important to know how to research and understand sources which has not been taught properly. Challenges?
What are the benefits and challenges of having standards for science, social studies, and technical subjects?
It helps when children be able to interact with their class which will help in the long run to help them interact with people at work. Grammar is important in order to talk to a group of people, it is hard to get there, some have to read things over again to get it. Common core wants to help these students who struggle and have a hard time reading and understanding the curriculum. Challenges?

Homework Assignment 3:
In this article it first talks on how people are saying how wonderful, so to speak, how the new common core standards are going to improve our children and such, but it is mostly a coverup. The Nation Governors Association and Bill Gates have come up with this new common core standards, people who give out these tests also were involved but they left out the most important people, teachers, administrators and parents. It states that with these new tests across the nation every state will soon see a drop in test scores. The no child left behind act was a decade failure where students felt unprepared for those tests, it seems that the common core is headed in the same direction. Also this is not some state action, it is federal action where again school districts are being forced to take on this new learning process or they will lose federal funding.
I believe that this article says it loud and clear, our federal government is trying once again to get their hand another thing, public schools, not understanding that when they step in they make things worse instead of better. Also why is Bill Gates wanting to fund this new teaching idea, to get kids college ready, he himself never went to college so how would he know how to get children to be ready for that next step in their life? That man needs to put his money in public school funds not funding another teaching program that will soon show how much of a disaster it will be. Why weren't teachers, administration, and parents not involved, these are our children we as parents and teachers deserve to be involved with our children's learning curriculum, it has been that way for a while why now is the government getting involved, it is not their place to federal and state are separate, it should remain that way.

Homework Assignment 2:
This article talks about how common core does not do anything for a student. How in New York test score dropped dramatically. How the Obama Administration is using money as a way to make these schools use common core because they are having budget cuts and with more government financial help they are literally being forced. It states that is does nothing for a student or for "national security". Common core seems to discourage children to learn and may feel like they are not smart enough to even try. It shows how bring the common core to school confuses school's priorities.
I completely agree with this article, what will happen to every student across the U.S. when this fully comes into effect. There will be a dramatic drop across the board, in every classroom, showing how common core in nothing but a flop. But with school being cut out of funds many are seeing common core as the only option, which is wrong its like twisting someone's are in order to get what you want and that is exactly what the government is doing to public schools. Also why is the federal government getting involved in school curriculum, when according to the article it is "forbidden"? They have not really gotten involved much until now so why the sudden interest to step in. What has the Obama administration said or done or want to be done with the minds of our children, it seems not only are they trying to racially divide this nation but to brainwash our children. The question is why, why do they want to destroy everything that many people worked so hard to accomplish? what is really going on?

Homework assignment 1:
According to the common core article, some teachers are excited about the new teaching standards. That it came out the same time schools are integrading technology, like the Ipads. It will give a student a deeper understanding of any subject they study and no more broad learning. It will help a student to learn and keep the knowledge rather than just memorizing it for all standard testing. it seems that CCSS will help every child gain a better understanding and enjoy school.
My concerns with common core is where will they actually start this program and then they just can't switch and will student who have been in school for a while who were not taught with CCSS, what happens to them? Some also thought that the no child left behind was a good idea which meant teachers passing a child who still could not read, what will happen to these children who learn slower than others? Another concern would be that common core was not even thought up by teachers but the "National Governors Assoc." who has never stepped foot in a classroom and why is the federal government all of a sudden want to change education, there is a thought of what behind the curtain that the government is not telling parents and teachers?
