Is there a cure for the common Core?
Don’t flame me, but, generally, anything that upsets the president of teachers’ union should be considered a good thing.
I'm not a New Yorker, can somebody provide a little clarification for me? Thanks.
There are many things wrong with the Common Core. One is that it forces inclusion of politically correct indoctrination, and avoids teaching content (because certain groups don’t seem easily able to retain information).
On the other hand, nothing is wrong with giving children tests. A little competition os normal for children once they reach about fourth grade. They can learn to love watching their own accomplishments. Even those who are not at the top of the class, nevertheless enjoy doing better than before. Incidentally, slow learners are often very good at retaining what they have learned: there is room for many types of learners. What we must insist on, though, is that all be given the chance to advance.
Some of the teachers’ unions hate testing, not because their little charges will be frightened, but because the idea of being tested frightens them.

Of course Common Core is child abuse. That’s why the left supports it.
Bump for later.
