North Carolina schools chief pitches to end Common Core educational standards

State Superintendent Mark Johnson wants a review of the state’s K-12 common core standards with a goal of getting rid of them, WNCT reports.

Johnson said the Department of Public Instruction will survey teachers and parents about the language arts and math standards that comprise common core.  

Johnson said he opposes common core.

He’s making the pitch while running for the GOP nomination for lieutenant governor in next month’s primary.
