Common Core Performance Evaluation: American Math Scores Plummet

Let’s check in to see how well Common Core is working:

New test results place American high schoolers well below their global contemporaries in mathematical literacy. The Program for International Assessment 2015 scores, released Tuesday, confirm a downward trend that appears to track the rocky implementation of the Common Core State Standards.

PISA tests how well fifteen-year-olds stack up against their global contemporaries. In math American teens rank 20 points lower than the international average—and 12 points lower than their own 2012 average.

New math flakiness is creating a generation of mathematical illiterates who know how many Odwalla bottles they have to recycle to rescue a polar bear, but do not know their way around a multiplication table, preparing them to study Liberal Indoctrination in college rather than more demanding STEM-related fields.

In other words, Common Core is working fine — so long as the objective is to create a population of useless moonbats.

Hat tip: New Americana.
