At this point, I believe it is more of a political stance, than a true disconnect in understanding. Parents automatically shut down, and allow for their children to do so as well when instruction is not "the old fashioned way". What are so tips on opening parents up to new ways of thinking? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I believe that many parents are just as confused about the implementation of Common Core as many teachers are. I would try to share articles with research as to the benefit of the aspects of Common Core. This really helped me. Also because of the misunderstandings about Common Core,many are not teaching it the way it was imagined to be taught. This also leads to the unease. Ideally, teachers would still teach in unique ways, but in some classrooms the teachers fear being unique due to outsiden pressure. In turn, children spend most of the time bored, confused, and filled with anxiety. Parents see this, and discredit Common Core. Again, showing research (articles) showing the goal of Common Core, will help parents get on board.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: The proof is in the pudding.

Education continues to grow drastically, so these "old fashioned ways'' are just becoming enhanced. Parents need to know that common core is a standard thats important in education today.

This solution is good because it gives parents knowledge, which is important in making an education decision on things - in this case their opinion on Common Core for their student.
