I saw Brit Hume say “There is so much ignorance out there on Common Core.” I believe Fox is getting negative feedback on Jeb and trying to help him recover. As for Cruz, they wanted to get him to bash Bush and make it personal but Cruz was gracious and said he disagreed with certain issues and Common Core should be repealed. Kelly contested his stance that it is not run by the states. Cruz advised that the Federal govt. attached money to try it out and it is like a drug dealer getting someone hooked. (lol!!!) He said we need it run at the local level. M. Kelly has been getting her talking points from the wrong sources and so has Brit Hume. Cruz was so smooth when he used the ignorance as an opportunity to explain the truth.
I thought it was a good interview. Megyn asks probing questions, but she doesn’t play the gotcha game. I plan on emailing and thanking her for having Cruz on her show and ask her to please have him back often. I actually heard him mentioned several times today on Fox. Maybe our complaints are getting through.
Jeb was saying in the interview with Megan Kelly that the damndable Common Core was meant to be run by the states and that it applies to only Math and Science, contrary to the rumor that it includes Social Science, which it does not.
He said the Common Core math reasoning is meant to prepare more students for taking Algebra and touted the Florida success among black students as well as all students who led the nation in proficiency, or something like that.
There are reams of video of little grade school girls and boys bursting into tears trying to do their homework in Common Core math. It is the saddest thing I ever saw. Something doesn’t fit, between what Jeb said and the reality on the ground. I hate everything I know about Common Core.
Why then didn’t Kelly give him an example of the ridiculous math problems that stump even the top tier math students? That was on video also for anyone to see.
It would be nice to be wrong about this. The USA is way below par in Math and Science and truly something needs to change, but the proof of the pain it causes can be seen and makes students despise Math.
This was never a problem in the colonial days when eleven year olds could serve as secretaries in France for their diplomat fathers. See the story of President Adams, I believe it was. What happen was we ceded our kids to the Lefty academics and never put a stop to the intentional dumbing down happening all around us in public education.
My tagline works here.
I saw that too. He was basically insulting much of the Fox audience. At that point, I turned the program off.
Brit Hume and most of FNC can pound salt; nothing but an establishment shill organization.
Bingo...He is alot like Reagan...take the question....start on their premise...and then beat the living dog shit out of them with his own answer!!
