Currently more than a dozen states are considering a repeal or a delay in implementation

What’s the Common Core debate all about? In April, we spoke to two sides on the issue: Oklahoma state representatives, Republican Jason Nelson and Democrat Emily Virgin. Common Core was initiated in 2009 by the nation’s governors, seeking national standards for math and English literacy. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan supported the move, spending $350 million to develop Common Core tests. More than 40 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the Common Core State Standards.
