Lawmakers + educators debate Common Core change
Monday began the arduous process of debating the elimination of Common Core from Columbus schools, but Republican Sen. Peggy Lehner who is also the chairwoman of the Senate Education Committee has pointed out that another change would mean some students would have had three sets of standards during their time in school.
OMG .. three sets of standards in four years! They have to be kidding.#CommonCore

With the new bill, students would still abide by the math and English/language arts standards for the next year but without the testing and then after that would transition into the Massachusetts standards for two years, according to the Dispatch.

Common Core could be replaced in schools with new bill
Common Core has been part of Columbus schools for four years, and has been utilized as a program that implements math and English standards. It was created by National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers and is also used in 40 states across the country, and schools around the city have been working to incorporate it. Republicans are proposing a bill that would take away Common Core and replace it with new standards, because updated standards would create stipulations on education that are more localized and minimize federal government impact, according to the Dispatch.
