Already posted the info directly from the CC site.
You have not posted one iota of anything to back your claim that CC goes beyond Math and English, or that there is even a single solitary word of factual truth in your op.
"Low Information Voter" would be a tremendous step up for you, Dellusional Dude.

Are there plans to develop common standards in other areas in the future?
CCSSO and NGA are not leading the development of standards in other academic content areas. Below is information on efforts of other organizations to develop standards in other academic subjects.
Science: In a process managed by Achieve, with the help of the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, states are developing the Next Generation Science Standards. More information about this effort can be found here.
World Languages: The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages published an alignment of the National Standards for Learning Languages with the ELA Common Core State Standards. More information about this effort can be found here.
Arts: The National Coalition for Core Arts Standards is leading the revision of the National Standards for Arts Education. More information about this effort can be found here.

Why are the Common Core State Standards for just English language arts and math?
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 which are used in other subjects. They are also the subjects most frequently assessed for accountability purposes.

I understand irrational fear is common amongst Dellusionial personalities.
Muttering, ranting, beliefs in conspiracy theories, beliefs that others are out to get you, and the like are also common.
Maybe you should get that looked at.
This ain't Mayberry anymore, Dude.
In fact, it never was.

Here's what 20,000 teachers think....
A large majority of K-12 teachers say that new learning standards now being implemented in most states will improve students' thinking skills, a new survey suggests.
A poll of more than 20,000 teachers, out today from the children's publisher Scholastic Inc., finds that about three-fourths of teachers think the standards known as Common Core will improve students' abilities to reason and think critically. Only 8% say Common Core will have a negative impact on the classroom as schools retool to comply with the new standards.
Common Core is designed to replace the USA's patchwork of state standards in math and reading, with goals that emphasize critical thinking and a more thorough understanding of a few key topics.
The National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers in 2009 launched the effort. All states except for Alaska, Nebraska, Texas and Virginia quickly signed on, helped in part by President Obama, who tied "college and career-ready standards" to billions of dollars in federal grants.

...emphasize critical thinking
Ahhhh
Now, it all becomes crystal clear
The right wing, who was against federal stimulus money, and demands accountability and standards for government spending, wants desperately to get their hands on billions in federal stimulus money, but without any standards or accountability. Going so far as to say that Obama dictated that they must take it, and the standards.
Like they couldn't just turn it, and the standards, down.
That would require character and integrity.
All because they are afraid that the next generation will OMG!
Learn.To.Think.
Critically.
The Horror!
That might slow the inexorable progress of the real agenda of the real establishment, that all of the wealth, power, influence, money, liberty, and right to pursuit of anything, much less happiness, continue to flow from the have nots and have a littles to the have it alls.
The sad, ironic part is that they have used mother god home and apple pie and the GOP/right wing radical factions and commentators to sell this as a good thing to the very people who are being slowly, but steadily, stripped of everything, even their pride.
But we wouldn't want our kids, or future generations, thinking. Better to just have them learn by rote memorization. They are soooo much easier to program that way.
Good friggin' grief, Charlie Brown.

Thanks for proving my point....Bought and paid for by the fed...
You are surprised 3/4 of 20,000 progressive liberal teachers find this program is good?
Tell me how was the pilot program and can you show any results?
- Banned
- #57
I do not know about the pilot study... Except that you are using that as a deflection
Can you show any evidence that anything in your op is factually true?
You posted it
Did you vet it?
Is any of it, one sentence even, actually factually true?
Do you have any evidence that Common Core itself extends beyond Math and English?
You repeatedly said it does.
Show me
I really am from MO
You haven't
Just parroting the made up right wing talking point threat to Mayberry of the day
Try a little critical thinking... It is not really sooooo hard, or scary

The fed will pay for and provide testing for CC. It isn't a far reach to see if the fed does the testing it too will control what is taught....
You have no issue with the data mining this program uses? Through the State Longitudinal Database System they will track students using extensive personal information......blatant violation of privacy.
If you noticed, it has been proven this venture wasn't solely created from a bunch of governors who were obviously very slow out of the gate and had to be bribed to participate. In fact it is the creation of Billy gates and a few other DC concerns ala US Dept of Edu.......you know there is some pesky law about the fed dictating education norms that had to have an end around to make this work.

This started with three paragraphs of outrageously blatant batshit crazy paranoia, fear mongering and hate you posted. Not a word of it true, factual, or even remotely substantiated.
You continue to insist that things that are not true are. Like that CC itself is comprehensive when it specifically applies only to Math and English.
I agreed early on that there were criticisms from people, from across the spectrum of ideology. You turned my use of the word I meant to use into "major problems". That is either immature emotionalism, or just plain dishonest.
Some will have objections to the testing, and the inevitable teaching to the test that will occur. That will happen and be an objection with or without CC.
Should we eliminate testing in schools altogether?
Some will object to the database and info collected. If it is de identified data, I don't. Accountability requires some way to track results.
Should there be no accountability?
I thought that was one of the things conservatives wanted, both for govt spending, and teachers/schools.
Others will object to federal involvement.
Others will want the $$$ from the feds, with no accountability.
It seems that idea goes against the usual conservative argument.
Some will be against it because they can use it to stir up more hate and discontent, and generate more ad $$ selling fear to their low information audience.
Should we return to frontier and colonial practice, where you got the schooling that your family decided to and could afford to pay for, for as long as they didn't need you at home to work, and where the content was entirely up to the individual teacher?
Or should we maybe have some standards, and attempt to provide an education that is actually useful.
Business leaders consistently say that they will, because they have to and need to, locate where they can find potential employees with the skills and education they need, regardless of tax incentives and taxes. They will of course take those if they can get the politicians to give them your money, but they have to have people who can read and understand and think.
Meanwhile, you are still stuck in the gutter digging around for any slime you can pin on Obama, the left, Democrats, or any of the rest of "those people".
