          I believe that this article really got to some of the key points as to why it can be difficult to effectively and efficiently disseminate information to young, aspiring students. All students come from varying backgrounds, and all students share and have dissimilar interests that may not pertain to what state core standards have been enacted. This is a problem because it creates a rift between teacher/educator and student. The problem is that it creates a divide between the two, where one attempts to reconcile there teaching strategy with learning objectives that are fun, inspiring, interesting, etc. in contrast to the way that the state wants a teacher to disseminate information. The student, being k-12 students may not have the time, patience, empathy, or really give a shit enough to try. Obviously this is a problem. If students, by the time they have left high school have, are not able to keep up with the rest of their peers then they may be left behind with no college future. This should not be the case. While some students excel and others don't necessarily excel, all students have an inherit worth and merit that deserves educators full support and attention. To create/sculpt/mold the next set of students for the oncoming future generations, educators must embrace a form of compassion and give back to a community of the world. These young children will grow up to be adults and these adults will write the laws, become CEO's, they aspire to do and be great not only in the classroom but in life. This is what teachers and educators need to understand the most, they are on the front lines of education, they are around students during some of the most formative years of their lives and it is of the utmost importance that they act as good role models but more than that they need to honestly engage with students at the students own pace whether that goes against common core state standards or not because every child/student deserves to have the skills necessary to progress further in their lives and education.
