Common Core is finally in the classroom, and in your home in the form of homework. A study by the National Center for Family Literacy finds nearly 50 percent of parents making an almost taboo admission: They struggle to help their children with their homework.

The more parents understand Common Core, the more assistance they can provide to their children. The parents-teacher partnership can be successful under Common Core.
