Recent studies on the quality of education in American schools exposes apprehensive information on existing course curriculum. Implementation of an improved and uniform Virginia Common Core is necessary. According to the national systems architect, David Colman, a research study throughout the world reveals that American students are taught too many subjects with superficial knowledge.

Mr. David Colman, the national system's architect, expressed his opinion in a gathering in Norfolk. He says that a research study all over the world shows that American students are taught too many subjects superficially. He suggested fewer, higher, and clearer standards.

Parents are also the key decision makers for this curriculum. Complaints were received from some of them regarding the poor quality of English and mathematics in the current system. In some schools, teachers avoid teaching specific classes on English grammar or parts of speech, and assign writing articles using different styles and genres.

Several complaints have been received from parents about the quality of the existing course. They feel that students are not taught about grammar or parts of speech in classes, but assigned to write articles with different writing styles and genres. This obviously raises questions about the teachers' intentions and the educational curriculum.

Not only is language a concern, but mathematical skills are also under doubt. Some other parents feel that the use of calculators from early stages of education has resulted in a poor understanding of the subject. They are also not encouraged to engage in critical thinking.

This calls for the necessity of a uniform educational course. In addition to uniformity, the new course offers in-depth understanding, improved reasoning power, application to varieties of situations, and thorough processing skills. It creates a horizon for critical thinking that can be applied elsewhere.

For the successful implementation of the common course, parents' participation is most welcome. They may obtain details of the course from authorities, and evaluate its benefits and analyze the features critically. Effective criticism will add value to the course, and children will benefit from them in the long run.

In order to implement the courses designed for the common core, parents' participation and encouragement is essential. In case they differ with the common core curriculum, they can participate in thorough discussion with the implementing authorities, or join the discussion forums. However, before coming to a method, they need to be up-to-date with the existing teaching practices and the pros and cons.

The importance of the implementation of the common curriculum can further be emphasized, as employers believe that American students lack analytical capabilities compared to their foreign counterparts. This is reflected by the vast number of graduated students entering low key jobs. Naturally, the better and higher level jobs are being taken by foreigners with better skills.

The evidence of students getting into low key jobs after graduation only emphasizes the need for upgrades of the existing course. It reflects the urgent need for implementation of the new course that will help children graduate with better knowledge and critical skills. The sooner this happens, the better these children will fare in their futures.
