Parents fed up with their kids’
declining math grades under newly adopted Common Core standards took an
unorthodox step to remedy the problem: They pulled their children out of
school for an hour a day to teach them at home.
Nine parents took their seventh- and eighth-graders from math class at Evergreen Middle School in Hillsboro, Ore., reported KATU-TV in Portland, citing a sudden drop in grades and performance.
Seventh-grader Amy Craig had always
been an “A” student in math until this year when she brought home a “D,”
her mother Julie Craig told KATU. Another mom said her daughter,
previously a sold “B” math student, is now failing the subject.

So the parents keep their kids at home for an hour each morning, then the kids head to school for the rest of the day.
