If you want a good reason to pursue any homeschooling program at all, Common Core is a good reason. Here’s a documentary that illustrates the problem: 6 minute trailer.. https://youtu.be/vyP2PZk-XFg
Here is another one that is a little more “hard-core”:
You can find plenty of news stories and uploaded videos on You Tube showing horror-story examples of the incomprehensible insanity of Common Core. If you want my opinion, I say it is rotten to the core. Bad for the kids’ intellectual and moral diets. If left unchecked, it will inevitably lead to truth decay. So we need to pull the plug on it. There are much better ways of confusing and confounding our kids with “progressive” teaching methods.
This is the 3rd Video, I would watch the other two 1st as this will be hard to follow until you have the context and background.
DumBing down everyone via the schooling system has been part of the rigged system for well over a century. This link offers an antidote for you.
Since 2009, the Gates Foundation’s primary U.S. activity has focused on establishing and implementing Common Core, a set of centrally mandated curriculum rules and tests for what children are to learn in each K-12 grade, with the results linked to school and teacher ratings and punitive measures for low performers. The Gates Foundation has spent more than $400 million itself and influenced $4 trillion in U.S. taxpayer funds towards this goal. Eight years later, however, Bill Gates is admitting failure on that project, and a “pivot” to another that is not likely to go any better.

Alarmed at the state of American education, as indicated by plummeting test scores and the failure to keep up with other countries in math and science, philosopher Leonard Peikoff spent two weeks visiting the best schools in New York City, searching for answers. In this 1984 lecture delivered at Boston’s Ford Hall Forum, Peikoff draws on his experiences and research in offering his own perspective on “why Johnny can’t think.”
“I deliberately chose schools with good reputations—some of which are the shining models for the rest of the country,” Peikoff explains, “and I let the principals guide me to their top teachers. I wanted to see the system not when it was just scraping by, starved for money and full of compromises, but at its best, when it was adequately funded, competently staffed, and proud of its activities. I got an eyeful.”
Using examples he saw firsthand, Peikoff observes that students are not taught to conceptualize or put together their thoughts and experiences into wider abstractions. Despite teachers’ best efforts to teach children to be self-expressive, he notes, students are not learning the foundations on which to base their opinions.
Peikoff explains the fundamental cause as a lack of “respect for reason” and calls for change: “Let us fight to make our schools once again bastions of knowledge. Then no dictator can rise among us by counting, like Big Brother in 1984, on the enshrinement of ignorance.”
The Q&A that follows the lecture expands on its subject matter and includes the following topics:
