<\/p>\nFor many of us we remember our education experience in school as getting the basics on reading – writing- and arithmetic. But it was just two years ago that teachers and school administrators began to adapt what is called “Common Core” into their curriculum. Basically- creating a national standard of assessment from Kindergarten to Grade 12 –but is it fair to think all students can embrace subjects equally? <\/p>\n
