peers. If they didn't we would not call them disruptive. I don't believe you would find a single educator who would dispute that. The issue is that we have decided that particular student's RIGHT to an education trumps every other students ACTUAL education. What I mean by that is under current policy it is very difficult to remove disruptive students from the classroom because you are denying them their right to an education regardless of the fact that they have no interest in that education. So we leave that one student who has no intention of getting a education in a classroom to the detriment of the other 20+ who are there doing what they are supposed to. That has to change.

I can only speak to math common core but it was very well thought out and will lead to students being much stronger in the math and science fields if they leave it alone and let it work. IMO issues with the English and Social Studies curriculum have more to do with the people teaching the topics than with the standards they are teaching.
