[1.14.17 – COMMENTS FROM DONNA GARNER: Donald Trump has done a brilliant job of choosing talented and successful people to serve in the other cabinet positions – all except for his choices for the U. S. Dept. of Education.
Betsy DeVos has been vitally involved in driving Common Core into our nation’s schools, and now it seems that another Common Core advocate may be chosen as the Deputy Secretary of Education, Allan B. Hubbard.
Similar to Betsy DeVos, Mr. Hubbard has long been in league with Jeb Bush, the National Governors’ Association, the Chamber of Commerce, the Lumina Foundation, the Council of Chief School Officers, and others to force the destructive, dumbed-down, anti-American, Common Core philosophy of education into almost every school in our country.
It is such a shame that Donald Trump is not listening to the moms and pops of America who sit with their frustrated children each night and see the “garbage” that their children are being forced to consume in their Common Core-compliant curriculum.
I believe Pres. Elect Trump genuinely wants to rescue the schools of America, but he is choosing the wrong people to do it.]

Let’s watch her demolish the teechur union grip on schools.
Is that what’s bothering you Bunkey?
.
But of course. It is why I don’t trust their evaluation oh Hubbard
This is an absolutely WONDERFUL idea! The schools will be subjected to the votes of loving and caring **parents***!
Gee! Imagine that. I trust a loving parent over any voting mob any day.
well then you get the Carnegie Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (ONE WORLD NOW) curriculum,Walton Foundation, Bloomberg, Murdoch, etc..it’s sets a very bad precedent for people who believe in a republic.
You trust the voting mob. I trust parents to choose a rational school for the children that they love.
I don’t trust the structure. At all. All schools even charters will fall under the ESSA guidelines.
The charters I am seeing in a large urban setting are targetting minority communities and having students push voter registration to up participation- (these are anchor kids or IA communities)
Glad to hear the CHARTER model is working out for you.
Support “CHOICE” !
Common Core is UNESCO education.
so?....You trust the government indoctrination camps run by the voting mob? Really?
I trust parents.
I hate indoctrination absolutely but I detest false solutions and deception.
I homeschool my son and take him to a campus 2 days a week.
As for the American Public School System I think it deserves a full hearing and a chance. The system was DELIBERATELY DESTROYED by those with an agenda. We need the pre-1965 model back.
Teach the basics and teach them well.
No school will escape the Common Core-they will name change and get it in there.
Any entity signing contracts, grants, or using vouchers will be subject to regulations, acceptable curriculum etc...CHOICE is written into the ESSA bill. It’s a NATIONAL PROGRAM. You may want to read Anita Hoge’s articles she is the ESSA researcher/right-winger/hellraiser on this.
Here is the InterAgency Language- The Interagency Day Care Standards of 1971 federal law.
Excerpt: “Any agency, public or private, which receives federal funds directly or indirectly through a grant or contract... or by way of a voucher plan” must meet all program requirements (ed) that are set down for public schools. Acceptance of Federal funds is an agreement to abide by the requirements.”
The government schools have had more than enough of a fair hearing.
Let parents decide.
Why are you thinking I do want parents to decide. Can u not get it that ESSA has screwed us over!

His Scary Federal Education “Choice” as a Civil Right, His Fake Repeal of Common Core, and His Phony Support of Homeschools Revealed.
Ted Cruz forces Common Core onto every private, religious, and homeschool in his proposed S 306 with Federal Choice (which is NO choice at all).
Explaining the Disastrous Impact of Ted Cruz’s S 306 and His Federal Choice.
• Common Core sets the stage for ALL children to be identified as “At-Risk” in public schools under Title I. This is now a given since the Every Student Succeeds Act, ESSA, was passed in December. ESSA was a bill sponsored by two establishment Republicans, Sen. Lamar Alexander and Rep. Kline. A “schoolwide” Title I banner means that Common Core now covers the entire school, and every child will receive a blanket of supports, techniques, and interventions that will force every child into compliance to meet Common Core standards.
• Sen. Ted Cruz’s S 306 uses these Title I school-wide federal funds to identify and follow the child. S 306 expands “portable” funding to every child, which means they will take “public school choice” with them into any private or religious school. This means every child is “At-Risk or becoming At-Risk” of not meeting Common Core. This baggage then goes with the child into that private or religious school. This baggage includes psychological supports and interventions carried out by IDEA (Individual With Disabilitites Education Act), which is the Special Education behavioral conditioning for all students to meet Common Core non-academic standards.
• Sen. Ted Cruz’s S 306 Federal so-called “Choice” funds are “portable,” meaning a Title I child takes his/her funds with them to any school. The “portable” funds “follow the child.” This means that schools will no longer be funded as they have been in the past. Rather, children are funded. This eliminates zip codes as a destination for a better local school. “Equitable” funding means schools will “spread the Common Core wealth around” and that all schools must be the same.
• The “portable” funds following the child amount to a “micro-voucher” for every child. This is used as a backpack of funds which includes a per pupil expenditure so that every child receives an equal amount of money. An algorithm is designed by the Federal IES, Institute for Educational Science, to determine regional “equity.” Federal, state, and local funds combined are deposited into an education savings account, called an ESA, used for school tuition and Common Core services at any school or even online. The State decides what is qualified as Common Core and aligns all curriculum with Common Core. The State is the overseer of this federal financial assistance accountability. Thus “choice,” in essence, is no choice, just Common Core in any school for every child.
• Sen. Ted Cruz’s S 306 appears to eliminate the church/state controversy when the funds “follow the child.” The “portable” micro-vouchers are given to parents to use in any private and religious school that accept Title I children with their allotted micro-voucher in hand. Schools do not receive money from the government, but receive the money from parents. So it deceptively looks like parental freedom of “choice.” But it is not.
• Sen. Ted Cruz redefines a homeschool as a private school, thereby forcing homeschooled children to come under the federal Title I net which mandates Common Core. A homeschool can set up a micro-voucher ESA, education savings account, and collect the same federal, state, and local funds to use to teach their child/children Common Core. Or use an ESA in any public, charter, private, religious school, or online class which must align to Common Core.
• Sen. Ted Cruz eliminates the cap on ESA’s in order to accept ALL funds that mandate services AND support interventions to meet Common Core. These services and supports are used in order to make sure that every child’s personalized career pathway conforms to Common Core. The government micro-voucher, which becomes substantial by including ALL funds, are deposited into this Lifelong Learning ESA backpack. This wide array of funds is the carrot for parents to support what they think is Choice, but no one explains to parents that there is Common Core baggage attached to the funds. This personalized plan is NOT for your child to reach his/her potential, but only to acquire Common Core standards!
• Services, supports, and interventions are defined, funded and carried out under IDEA, special education. ALL children get the same Common Core poison including the controversial psychological/behavioral treatment. You see, Common Core measures and scores non-academic government-prescribed attitudes, values, beliefs, and dispositions. A student must meet these pre-determined psychological outcomes. Psych interventions are defined as: positive behavior intervention and supports, multi-tiered and school-wide tiered system of supports, response to intervention, early intervening supports, and universal design for learning. These are all mandated in federal legislation, the Republican establishment’s ESSA. Mental health psychological coding is a must for reimbursement of funding treatment.
• Sen. Ted Cruz changes 529 plans to accept all children from birth up to age 21, or the entire Common Core/Mental Health/Healthcare P-20 agenda. 529 plans are converted into Lifelong Learning micro-vouchers, deposited into ESA backpacks. Cruz’s Federal “Choice” will fund Common Core/Mental Health for ALL children. including free universal Pre-K, free federal “choice” in any elementary and secondary school, and 2 free years of community or vocational college. Lifelong Learning micro-voucher backpacks will extend the entire school life of a child until age 21. This mimics the same socialized education/healthcare proposal from President Obama’s State of the Union Address!
• THE DREADFUL IMPACT OF SEN. TED CRUZ’S CHOICE: Local taxes will no longer support your neighborhood local public school when “follow the child funding” is directed to multiple schools through so-called choice. What happens to your local public school where you have duly-elected representative school board members who are accountable to citizens in your district? This whole plan collapses the traditional public school and your elected school board. When your neighborhood public school goes financially bankrupt or Common Core bankrupt, your locally collected school taxes will be regionalized or redirected for a State takeover. Charter schools, that have no elected representative boards, were expanded in the federal education Reauthorization of ESEA (the ESSA) and replace “failing” public schools. State departments of education become more powerful. This is all playing into the false “abolishment of the US Department of Education” mantra which appeals to conservatives who don’t truly understand this insidious agenda.
-—It is such a shame that Donald Trump is not listening to the moms and pops of America who sit with their frustrated children each night and see the “garbage” that their children are being forced to consume in their Common Core-compliant curriculum.-—
It’s important to note that while it’s true that mothers and fathers (who pay attention) see the ‘garbage’ rammed down their children’s throat, they only see part of it - and by design.
The schools are getting very good at concealing the most egregious aspects of indoctrination; making it nigh impossible to see what even the kids themselves don’t even recognize as Marxist propaganda.
