The Common Core's fundamental trouble

Summary:
  The results of implementation of the Common Core so far have been mostly on the negative side. Though it does raise standards and require a "student-centered" teaching, it also causes many (if not most) students to fail rather than succeed. If the No Child Left Behind act left schools failing, the solution to that should not be higher standards for which college graduates cannot even master. This new standard is the result of "consultants and corporate entrepreneurs where there should be parents and teachers."

Opinion:
  This new standard is absolutely crazy!!! I do not think the anxiety and failure rate caused by this will ever balance or surpass the college and career readiness it is supposed to support. I know I get anxious with the smallest tasks involving testing/learning with technology. I also know the suicide rate in high schools are ever-increasing, and I do believe this escalating rate is because of unnecessary pressures placed on children who are supposed to enjoy and engage in learning. When one feels as if he cannot possibly live up to the standards placed before him, the result is often detrimental if not life-risking. Health is more important than forcing such standards on any age child.
