Common Core is a plan by the National Governor's Association later adopted by the (United States Department of Education) to nationalize the curriculum standards in public schools. This policy has come under intense criticism.
Idea
The idea of Common Core was to make the educational system national. This means that if one moved from, say, Mississippi to, say, New Jersey, then they'd be learning the same content for their grade, rather than something different. Currently, for a grade such as ninth grade, one state might teach biology, while another might teach physics. Common Core's goal is to prevent this from happening, and make sure all of the ninth graders learn biology.
