    The document discusses the author's opinion in favor of adopting Common Core standards. The author believes Common Core will better prepare students for a competitive global workplace by having them think more critically and problem solve in new ways. While Common Core focuses on college and career readiness, the author argues it will still benefit students who choose alternate paths after school. The author acknowledges concerns that Common Core limits diversity but notes states can decide 15% of standards and the primary goal is preparing all students for success. Overall, the author supports Common Core as leading education in the right direction despite difficulties change may bring.
