Common Core - Jan. 10
Season 5 Episode 512 | 26m 46sVideo has Closed Captions
One of the most controversial and misunderstood educational initiatives ever.
It's one of the most controversial changes taking place in America, yet very few people even know that their children are now being taught to a new set of standards called the "Common Core." On this edition of Northwest Now, we'll find out what the Common Core is, and why it is such a lightening rod for debate as you will - especially if you watch the post-show exchange in our web-extra segment.
