Education Week (12/1, Sparks) reports, "As the majority of states implement common-core content standards, some experts are arguing that that the focus on mathematics and language arts leaves out the social and economic studies that can help students connect content to their daily lives." They believe "that the expansion of testing in math and reading under the No Child Left Behind Act has led to a piecemeal approach to social and behavioral science subjects." Meanwhile National Assessment of Educational Progress reports "found mostly mediocre performance for students in geography, civics, and history."
