A very respected teacher in my district has been very vocal and "on the attack" of the common core curriculum, and the examples I've seen seemed to only make the subjects more confusing. I haven't had to worry too much about it, as my daughters new school doesn't deal with it, largely, but I will read more into it, now that you've vouched.
I think a common mistake is to examen a curriculum for the coherence it has to an expert. What really matters is the coherence it provides to a neophyte. I'd be interested in what you decide and perhaps there are issues I don't know about at other grade levels, and I know nothing of the English language side.
