Arizona’s College and Career Ready Standards have recently come under debate in Arizona; the House has just passed a bill to have Common Core removed from all Arizona’s school systems. The Representatives want to go back to the original plan of education that was created and owned by Arizona before Common Core was implicated in 2010.

According to commoncorestandards.org, Common Core is important for students to “ ensure all students are prepared for success after graduation, the Common Core establishes a set of clear, consistent guidelines for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level in math and English language arts.”

Common Core was based on the standards to educate children well enough in  the “English language arts and math were the subjects chosen for the Common Core State Standards because they are areas upon which students build skill sets that are used in other subjects.”

Arizona College and Career Ready Standards affects only the English language arts classes and math because, “the standards specify the literacy skills and understandings required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines. States determine how to incorporate these standards into their standards for those subjects or adopt them as content area literacy standards.”

With the bill, being passed the House has decided that “the State Board of Education may not adopt and the department of education may not implement the Common Core Standards.” The House wants this bill to pass to ensure that parents have the right to control their child’s education. The bill will go to Senate later this week.
