Pretty sure that DeVos has changed her mind on Common Core! I think even one of the architects, Bill Bennett, is in the process of changing his mind on it.
The elites never sleep. The links to CHOICE & Jeb are not good news. “Choice” was written all over in #ESSA and if CHOICE via states is passed then we have the piece they wanted. A charter school explosion that will wipe out private and public ed system. Sounds good huh?
Then, we realize the charters cannot be subjected to regs/ oversight and have no elected school boards yet use our tax dollars...um ...trouble.
The entire Department of Education should be dismantled and thrown away.
Let education fall back to the jurisdiction of the states and the local governments.
Doesn’t matter. What does she have, other than money, to recommend her other than her past positions and advocacy work?
There is no excuse for having allied with Jeb on common core and education.
She lied.
I hope you're right!
Common Core...it just got approved in AZ! Hate that curriculum!!
I read a couple of articles about DeVos when she got chosen by Trump. It was clear that she inititially thought C.Core was a good idea, but after she learned more about it, rejected it. She does not support it at all.
I have no idea about Hubbard, never heard of him before now.
I heard Bill Bennett specially say (live, on-air) that he WAS very active in the beginning of Common Core, but those INTENTIONS of quality and measurement and common sense core values were quickly overtaken and railroaded BY the Washington establishment into the national control BY the “national theoretical thought police” that Common Core has become.
Bennett deeply regrets the change.
Betty Davis NEVER supported common core. Her participation on committees and boards was always slanted toward slowing Tha advance of common core.
There shouldn’t be any core, common or otherwise.
