The Common Core Standard In 2009, education as we knew it made a huge change in 43states across the U.S., and the District of Columbia. Almost every teachers up until then had the freedom to teach however and many times whatever they wanted, and often without any serious or detrimental consequences if the teacher failed to reach the curriculum goals. This failure in many instances would not affect the teacher in any possible way. Thankfully due to the change in 2009, teacher freedom was limited to force each educator to educate, and if the curriculum goal does not get met, the teacher faces some serious penalties such as a suspension, and if this is an ongoing thing the teacher, under many …show more content…
The sole purpose of the entire standard was and is to; in the long run prepare students for college and their future lives. While indeed it is a proven fact that it does truly prepare students for their future education, and lives by giving all of the teachers from the states that have affiliated themselves with the standard the exact same curriculum and lesson plans that need to be completed before the end of the year (Gardener and Powell, 2013/2014). Common Core also gives the students a wide range of knowledge that would not have otherwise been taught, before 2009 (Bloseveren and DeWitt, 2014). Another thing that teachers were finding valuable was the case that the common core standard challenges the students to grasp all of the information that they are being given because at some point everyone student will have to take an assessment test that will reflect upon that student if they perform poorly. The last and probably most useful thing about the common core state standard is that it truly does prepare students for future education and life in general. It does so in a few different ways… with the amount of time that teachers have to teach, it become virtually impossible to go into depth with each and every lesson that has to be taught. So, in effect students are having to learn to fend for themselves and take schooling and really interpreting the lessons into their own hands, which is in fact what is done in college. This not only teaches students to take matters into their own hands, it also helps them discover their learning abilities at a younger age, so by the time they get to college they know how to study and learn affectively. With common core being a nationwide standard it gives students the same baseline of knowledge so when they do get to college no matter where it be, each student has been taught
