Video: The Common Core Curriculum

By Ron Paul, April 5, 2014.

Central planning by the state does not work. This is why the Common Core Curriculum is doomed.

It’s too rigorous academically for career-track students, and not rigorous enough for top students headed for college.

The program is dumbed-down for college-track students, but frustrating and discouraging for career-track students.

Parents are rebelling all over the country.

My curriculum is aimed at college-track students. It is academically more rigorous than Common Core. But it also offers career training for students who want to go into a home-based business. There are three tracks: natural science/math, social sciences/humanities, and business. Families should decide what their children need academically. A national committee of government bureaucrats should not.

Here are 26 reasons why my curriculum is better than Common Core.

Meanwhile, the nation’s public schools are caught in a political tug-of-war. The central planners are determined to pull control away from local communities. Families will be the losers in this power grab by the federal government.

I recommend that you keep your school-age children out of this power struggle.
