Until then, have a good evening. News editorial. There are few topics guaranteed to stir up emotions in northeast ohio. One of those topics discussed quite a bit by parents, teachers and students is our states requirements. Common corsets unified and standardized learning goals that each student should know at the end of each grade. The purpose, to ensure all of our students leave high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed after graduation. On paper, it is a great idea addressing big picture issues. But making it work in the real world classroom is more complicated. Well, the grades are in. After common cores first year with strict standardized core requirements combined with new state tests from the partnership for assessment of readiness for college and careers, ohio school fell from 37 to 6. The average grade for ohio students would drop from a b to a c. It is not a glowing report card especially for the Cleveland School district which had the 5th worst test scores in the state with multiple fs. But the common core flunk the common sense test . Some parents argue about families living in the areas with more financial means and resources that have advantages many schools dont have. Sullen and beachwood schools scored as in the local report card. Some administrators range from defiant to dismissive when asked about the schools test results. The real measure will be in the years and decades to come. When this first generation of common core students enter the real world. Ohio schools may be taking a beating on paper but so far it is an incomplete. And thats how we see it. We encourage your response to this editorial. Email your response to editorial cleveland19. Com.
