Results Are In: Common Core Is Making American Kids Dumber

The ambitious attempt to standardize learning across the country known as Common Core can now be measured and the news isn't good.

The aforementioned bad news is that the first group of Common Core high school grads aren't as well prepared as their predecessors.

For the third time in a row since Common Core was fully phased in nationwide, U.S. student test scores on the nation's broadest and most respected test have dropped, a reversal of an upward trend between 1990 and 2015.

Further, the class of 2019, the first to experience all four high school years under Common Core, is the worst-prepared for college in 15 years, according to a new report.

Noble its intentions, Common Core is a failure of one-size-fits-all standardization.

These students are the first to have completed all four high school years under Common Core.

While not a federal program per se, there were a lot of federal grant dollars spent to get states to adopt Common Core.
