This is nonsense!!!!!!!!!! This whole "Commen Core" program that Obama is putting forth is nothing but failure. Another change that will be implimented in this Commen Core is removing textbooks and lectures from classes. Our children will have to learn via computers only. What's next, removing teachers as well? This grading system is BS!!!!!!!!!

Get unions out of schools, reward the good teachers and get rid of the bad. Unions suck the life blood out of everything they get involved with...

They are going from 5 letter grades ( 6 counting I ( Incomplete )) to 4 number grades. Dumbing down again? Making the tests easier to appease certain groups didn't work? What's next; everyone passes regardless of ability, intelligence, studying, and hard work? It stinks. And it's not fair to the one's that put some effort into it.
