However some, like me, do have a condition that makes them unable to concentrate or pay attention for very long. Found out mine was something other than ADHD later in my life, but still...

We watched this in grad school. Ken is extremely funny. Unfortunately, his words and common core oppose each other.
-
@Learntospell, No, they don't. Common Core is a set of standards that promote understanding over memorisation. There are nearly limitless ways that they can be implemented. Yes, many places are implementing Common Core as a rigid, structured curriculum where kids have to sit still and do worksheets. But that's not the fault of Common Core, that's the fault of the school or district deciding that was the best way to implement it. I've taught Common Core math in a personalised learning model where kids were scattered around the room on the floor and on bean bags and stuff all working on different activities.

@Ruupasya, standardized testing is tied to CC. However, if your district allows your learning lessons, then great. Most districts care about little more than testing because, IMO, of CC and federal funding to states, which in turn, dictate expected numbers.
