A man from our local leftist university told me that the future of most colleges and universities is internet learning. Most of it will be done through community colleges with only top students attending classes at the university level. In WA Dtate, they have been saying that too many kids go to college, anyway, and that there aren’t enough college level jobs in the state for all the kids who want to go to college. They said that kids should only be educated to level of the jobs hat they can be expected to find in their neighborhood. If those jobs are McDonald’s, retail sales and healthcare aids, so be it.
See my tag line.

If vocational training becomes more accessible and reasonably priced, that’s good. Not everyone wants or is suited to a “knowledge based” career.
A study of history shows that when a society generates a large population of college graduates, without being able to provide jobs commensurate with their level of degrees, revolution ensues. It can be put off by multiplying government positions that require university credentials, but ultimately, someone has to be producing real economic output to support the government employees.
If that fails ... BOOM.

Common Core English and Math Standards Not Properly Validated

Well that might be true in a stagnant economy, where new businesses and new jobs are not being created.
Thank you for that information.
The SAT has already been revised to reflect common core teaching/learning. The Praxis I and II has already been revised to reflect common core standards.
Most private and parochial schools in this area have already instituted the Common Core Curriculum. The SATs and other standardized tests including those for professional certification have been revised to allign with Common Core.
Some areas have resisted the Common Core Curriculum and BOE meetings have been volatile but Common Core ended up being the curriculum in areas that resisted (mine).
One of the Common Core programs is PMI (progressive math initiative). Most Districts in this area now use it as their math curriculum. It’s awful.
It’s going to impact homeschooling, too. SATs, other tests, are revised or being revised to reflect Common Core.
Yep!
Most, if not all, of the teachers I know (and I’m one now, again), hate the Common Core Curriculum and see it for what it is...dumbing down the students/education. It’s atrocious.
The public, private and parochial schools in this area have all instituted the Common Core Curriculum, even after volatile objections.
It’s frustrating as hell!
The SATs have been revised to allign with Common Core.
Which is what we have now.
Yes, but we can’t allow it to stay this way. Lowering the goals and expectations of our young people would condemn the US to remain in this crony capitalist form of fascism.
I agree. Our economy is becoming steadily more European.
That was What a Obama wanted, what he thought of as socialist, but is really pure fascism with no middle class.

Yeah, they have to get that word "progressive" in there. I'm so sorry you're having to go through that. Poor kids, too.
