Common Core is never going to last, there is too much backlash, too many protests, too much resistance from everybody who isn't an idiot. The government will do what it can to pacify the people, and it will remove Common Core before it is implemented large-scale, because the people will vote them out of power and vote in people who promise to remove Common Core. Even if they don't, the current government doesn't want to lose power, so I have a sneaking suspicion that Common Core will be removed quickly.

Also Common Core does not affect private education, which I have a suspicion most parents will try to transfer to if for some odd reason Common Core is continued, nor can it really affect universities, as they aren't under government control. Perhaps a few colleges will, but most will want informed students in their humanities classes, not students who can't debate and know nothing about Presidents. What kind of American History professor wants to teach a class where his/her students have never heard of the U.S. Presidents?
