LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas could be the latest state on the growing list of them considering a repeal of Common Core national standards.
The Arkansas News reports:
Sen. Gary Stubblefield, R-Branch, told the Arkansas News Bureau he is considering filing a bill to repeal Common Core.
“This one size fits all, I just don’t buy that, because there’s just too much difference in different school districts in different states,” Stubblefield said. “I just think there’s a better way to do it.”
Stubblefield said some teachers in his district think Common Core is all right, but “some of them hate it.”
“They think it’s a waste of time. They spend more time trying to learn how to give a test than they actually do teaching,” he said.
