I think the idea that all schools should teach the same subjects and students should have an advanced understanding of science, math, English, and social sciences, however, the common core can be a bit restricting on what teachers can teach to their students. Adding more freedom to the system would be beneficial, especially when certain aspects of the common core are not as beneficial to a student's learning when more important topics could be taught but are left to the wayside in lessons since the common core did see them as important. Cthulu forgive we leave something out of the common core in lieu of something more relevant and important to student growth.
