Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Common Core State Standards specify a minimum skills set that all children of a certain age should have. These standards are meant to ensure that children across the country have access to similar quality education and that they are prepared for college and/or a career after graduation. While standardized testing is often associated with the Common Core, it is not a requirement of the standards themselves. Similarly, the standards do not necessarily end social promotion or ensure that schools hire quality teachers, although they may impact these issues indirectly.
