From the article: "Since the standards were first introduced, Common Core supporters have created amorphous platitudes and spin to market it. Even as more Americans like me 'wise-up', do not expect the Common Core-ites to give up."

New York principal and outspoken critic of the Common Core, Carol Burris, takes a look at four of the most popular talking points of Common Core proponents and exposes the inconsistencies in each of these arguments.  A great article filled with counterpoints for those "Common Core-ites".
