Description

In her new book, bestselling author Mercedes Schneider provides little-known details about the history of the Common Core State Standards.

She lifts the veil on how the Common Core was developed, who was present in the back room, the push to copyright it so that test-makers could profit, and the urgency for governors to sign commitments before the standards were even completed.

CCSS is publicized as being a state-led, teacher-developed approach guaranteed to ensure that all students are college- and career-ready.

By the end of this eye-opening book, readers will come to understand the CCSS and its attendant assessments as something very different—an education-restricting, profit-garnering opportunity packaged as an education-sounding sales pitch.

Common Core Dilemma will appeal to readers across the political spectrum who want to better understand the role of corporations, nonprofits, big donors with strings attached, and the federal government in exercising control in our schools.
