Please conduct due diligence and research the Common Core Standards before purchasing this or any Common Core Standards materials for your homeschool program.
Controversial as it is - the Common Core Standards is considered by many within the homeschool community - to be the driving force behind socialism and killing of our children's individuality -- that which produces the strengths and benefits of diversity we know in America.
Homeschool Supercenter offers this program for those wishing to utilize it with that understanding.
Many believe that Core Standards content and methodology could, in effect, make all children alike, thereby eliminating diversity and erasing the components that created American Exceptionalism: Individual Personality Traits, Thinking Skills, Interests, and Dreams.
