Meanwhile we homseschool and one of my five-year old twins can read at almost a college level and she does math in her head better than I do. She learned math using multiplication tables, division tables, and flash cards. I’m hoping to get her into the first levels of our algebra curriculum if not this year then next year.
And along the way I’ve re-educated myself using the homeschool curriculum and if you look at my posts from 2009 you’ll see it’s made a HUGE difference for me!
Great article by Ms. Schlafly, thanks for posting.
I have a 3 year old and live in a school district with a very VERY good public elementary school (or so I’ve been told from other parents I meet) and I PRAY every day that Trump gets in there in Nov and dismantles the hell out of this stupid Common Core crap. How awful that the smart kids are being thrown to the side so that all the stupid kids can slide by...
Such a freakin nightmare ! What kind of idiot thought any of this was a good idea???

EVERYTHING the elitist left does to close the gap between high and low performing students widens the gap. Everything.
