If you have children that are now K-3 or soon to be in Kindergarten, you owe it to your child to take 25 minutes to watch this video. Dr. Megan Koschnick discusses the inappropriateness of the Common Core Standards for K-3 at the Common Core Conference held at Notre Dame on September 9, 2013.The evidence is mounting that the CCSS for young children will create emotional issues in the young child. Is this what they mean by rigor?
The video has been reposted on you-tube.
Here is more information about the Common Core and young children:
South Dakotans Against Common Core 
It says the video is private. Anyway to change that so we can watch?
I cannot change the settings. The video has been removed completely. When it is uploaded to You-tube again, I will post here again. Sorry for the confusion.
CCSS? == Confused Children Stay Stupid?With all of this money spent on education why haven't the 50 states created 50 Recommended Reading Lists for students by now? Then compare and merge redundancies.
