I liked this article because it challenges not only students but teachers who need reteaching in shifting to the demands of Common Core. Be sure to read the comments after the article. Most comments disagree with the article and indicate it is difficult for students to learn multiple things. How difficult it is for teachers to construct lessons is also brought out. My take on this is that teachers have their own set of stereotypes which seem to be passed on to students along with parent attitudes.
