Editor's Notes
- #4 Common Core State Standards are a rigorous and clear set of academic expectations of what Florida students should know, understand and be able to explain in the areas of English and math at each grade level, Kindergarten through twelfth grade. Standards define the “what” should be learned, not “how” curriculum needs to be taught.
- #5 Common Core State Standards are a rigorous and clear set of academic expectations of what Florida students should know, understand and be able to explain in the areas of English and math at each grade level, Kindergarten through twelfth grade.

- #10 What Common Core Standards are NOT:A curriculum. Teachers are not told how to teach and are free to encourage creativity. Textbooks, lesson plans and other materials remain a local decision. Federally mandated. Forty-five states have adopted higher standards voluntarily. “Dumbing down” our schools. The standards were written by examining the expectations of high-performing countries around the world.Intruding on student privacy. The federal government remains without access to personal information on individual students.
