Nobody else is quite up to your standards, are they?

the teacher is prohibited from contradicting the text, even if the text is wrong or only offers one viewpoint.

I can't for the life of me understand why a teacher would agree to this. If I spent years in school to become an educator I would reel at micromanagement of someone telling me how to conduct my class or my teaching methods.

I would say, you teach your class your way and I will teach mine my way and lets see who's students performance outcomes are better.

My sense now is that Common Core is exactly like ObamaCare. There are many features that can be made to sound attractive. But in practice, when we see how the ideas unfold in real life, almost everything is going to turn out to be unpleasant. You’ll wonder what kind of people devise such nonsense.

The libs have been "practicing" their brand of education for quite some time.

They have been "experimenting" on kids in the inner city public schools over the last 20 to 30 years. Ever wonder why those schools are so bad?

Over the last 10 years they have been working the international angle by installing UN mandates in the public schools in New Zealand.

Back in Arkansas, during the 80s, Hillary used a thing called "The Governor's School" where the best high school students were invited for a summer session where they were treated to really weird indoctrination which included lessons on satanism. One student was so upset at what he had learned that he committed suicide when he returned home.

Common Core has succeeded in refining its effort so that all their intense whammy work is on students between the ages of 8 and 11 when it has the best chance to pervert the children.

This is the what is happening , apparently: Bill Gates needs humanoid workers and customers for his company. It is slowly dying, i.e., losing market share to other operating systems, and manufacturers.

Common Core, on the computer, will be run and supplied by Microsoft. The plan is for it to be supplied by MS in perpetuity. He is happy--He doesn't care what the rest entails.

He got that part down all right, but he probably left the other details to his wife, Melinda or the Ford Foundation, or a George Soros group. And they, like they did to Henry Ford's foundation, polluted it with their religious (Marxist) propaganda.

Common Core is rotten: It must be rejected.

.the new Common Core is actually not about content...the logical, rational mind is the real target of education reforms

That has been the goal of public education since the Progressives got their way and took it over in the name of Democracy in the 1890's. Since then, there have been thousands of curricula, hundreds of tests, and millions of methods proposed and tried.

Why, it's as if they can't stamp out intelligence fast enough.

Common Core is the further dumbing down of our students. BTTT!
