common coreEmily Anderson, a ninth-grader at Owasso Mid-High School, has always been near the top of her class when it comes to academics. She was in enrolled in the TACK program for gifted and talented students throughout middle school and is currently taking Pre-AP classes.

“I know I’m not stupid. I’m not dumb. I just know that whatever is going on isn’t working with the way that I learn,” Anderson said.

She said teachers have already begun preparing for Common Core, including the use of textbooks that have the phrase “Aligned to State Common Core Standards” written across the front, reports Fox23 News.

“Just yesterday we were learning a new concept with triangles, and (the teacher) said, ‘We’re not going to go really deep into it, because it’s difficult for most kids to understand,’ but I feel bad for the kids next year who are going to have to deal with it,” Anderson said in the report.

The ninth-grader offered some first-hand suggestions for lawmakers who are implementing the standards.

Anderson believes a better way to roll out the new standards would be to implement them with a kindergarten class, as opposed to changing the standards for students who are three-fourths of the way through their academic careers, the story reports.

“If they’re going to change the way a kid learns, I feel they need to change it from the beginning and not try to teach an old dog new tricks,” Anderson said.

Anderson plans on leading the fight through the Facebook group she created “Owasso Students AGAINST Common Core” and by sharing information about Common Core to others in her town.

In less than a week, there have already been 55 people who joined the Facebook group.
