Common Core

            Every student learns differently from others. Some students may not even be up to the same level as average students because of learning disabilities. My mom is a teacher’s aide in a special education classroom. The students in this class have harder times paying attention and even staying on the task that they are given. So with this they will not be able to learn the same as a student in the regular education class. When it comes to the common core testing students will have a hard time with the test because they necessarily will not know how it is to do the work. This testing is not going to be fair towards any student. Even after having looked at one of the tests in my class I think to myself how do I do this? This whole thing of no child left behind is crazy because the students are just going to have to have the basic knowledge for these tests. As well as it is not fair to the students when they have to sit at the tests and look at it knowing that they have no idea how to do it. I know when I was sitting looking at one of the tests that they had for fourth graders I had no idea how to do it because it was very difficult. One day after the tests my mom had come home and was telling me about one of the questions that were for fifth grade students. I was amazed by the question and she had written down what the question was and just thought to myself this is crazy.  Now I have been in the classroom that my mom helps and I have seen how the students are and it makes me sad because I know that those students would not be able to know at all how to do it. Regular education students would have possibly a better idea of possibly doing the problem, but may of still had a problem trying to do it.
