My sister-in-law’s private girls school (where the governor of the state sent his daughters) does not and will not use Common Core. Bill Gate’s children’s school does not use Common Core, and if I remember correctly, the NY State Commissioner of Education sends his kids to a private school that does not use Common Core.

It’s only for the peasant class.

True.

But they are still beholden to the SAT, ACT and AP exams if they plan to attend college which are being re-written as I write this to reflect CC standards.

I am a teacher, this is being shoved down my throat and I am receiving “training” in new state, SAT, ACT and AP testing methods that reflect CC alignment, especially its emphasis on “social justice” and global warming issues.” The tests reflect this because I’ve seen the prototype questions.

I do not know a single teacher who is in favor of this garbage, we highly resent it and what it is teaching the next generation of young Americans.
