The common core standards give the US an excuse to avoid making serious efforts to reduce the main causes of low student achievement; poverty and racial segregation. The common core standards state that if you disregard ethnicity, all students are the same and should learn the same. This cannot be true if you take into account disabled children, English language learners, and early childhood grades students who have not developed fully yet.
