The real reason behind "common core"

Sure that's true. And personally I have no bitch with standardized academic programs. every little local fiefdom wants to keep whatever power they have and I understand that too.
Something we don't like to admit but should is a graph I saw over a year ago on the McLaughlin Group. it's not that the United States is truly that far behind the other countries in math science etc if you remove two demographics, African Americans and Hispanics.
Without those two monumentally under performing groups the United States ranks equal or above anyone.
(and I understand what kind of flack that statement will draw)

I'd like the see our academic performance with the poorest group of students removed. I have a feeling the same result would be had and it would be much more indicative of the issue

Really? You think that you could remove the poorest and most underperforming groups and the bell curve wouldn't change??? I can't imagine that's what you meant.

I meant the same effect as what happened in your example. Except you example basically says "minorities are dumber than whites" where what I said is saying poorer students aren't getting a good education.

Poverty is a huge issue in this country and a very large contributor in the educational problems as well.

True enough. I do get discouraged with the Country's dialog on poverty be it either on Capitol Hill or Main Street.
