private educators should shun anything like Common Core

[Amendment10]

The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to decide what is taught in intrastate schools.

[con-surf-ative]

All public school board members (of which i am one) should resist Common Core and implement a Classical curriculum. The challenge will be training teachers to revive our traditional education heritage.

Hey, all you people that still sends your children to a GOVERNMENT SCHOOL, don’t be surprised when your children sell you out to the government.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

While that is true, I urge you to read the entire article and become informed on how CommieCore legislation, if fully implemented, will force private and homeschool alternatives out of existence.

See how home education can be the nexus with which to end public education.

They can exercise a lot of control at the college admission point.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

They can but will they?

The very first standardized test that my children took were the GRE’s for graduate school. They had no high school courses whatsoever and never took the ACT or SAT.

I read that homeschoolers are highly sought after by the leading colleges. Why? Answer: Because they are well prepared academically and socially and cause far less “drama” for the colleges.

Because they are well prepared academically and socially and cause far less “drama” for the colleges.

Well, of course, except for when it comes to teaching them how to be good little communists.

[Tax-chick]

They can, but will they?

That was my point.

Ideologically, there might be a motivation for universities to enforce Common Core orthodoxy. However, financially there is not.
