K-12: What Happened to Bill Gates and Common Core?

Common Core seemed to have one objectionable feature after another.

Common Core is best understood as a coup d'état, or more exactly a coup d'ecole.

Did Gates realize that Common Core, supposedly a new and higher instruction, incorporates all the dubious ideas from decades prior? New Math and Reform Math were the basis for Common Core Math.

Did Bill Gates reflect empathically on the proposals in his billion-dollar baby? Everyone should try to imagine he's eight years old and has to struggle with Common Core every day.

There are hundreds of videos made to show how wonderful Common Core is.

If parents can't succeed with those lawsuits, they can start demanding an IEP for their children, an IEP that emphatically excludes Common Core.

Since 2010, Gates endured a long, slow defeat, as more people turned against Common Core, and he himself realized that it was not what he had dreamed of.
