The stupidity of Common Core is staggering. Looking at Math (my personal interest), they didn’t compare 50 states and tens of thousands of school districts to find the most successful curriculum. Instead, they invented something completely new and untested. Regardless of the motives I imagine for those pushing Common Core, this makes no sense.

Common Core is no different than looking at an elephant, then telling them to climb a tree, when he can’t then telling him he is stupid.

Nothing but more UN propaganda bullshi# disguised as critical thinking.

"Parents balked at their kids being used as "guinea pigs" for untested teaching methods; educators challenged Common Core's assessment-obsessed, one-size-fits-all approach. King petulantly cut off testimony only 20 minutes into the feedback session to filibuster and grandstand -- and then proceeded to cancel future forums. "

In your face parents!....Like Hitler said to them..."we have the children 6 days a week...who are you?"

Where it all started?

In Colorado, Vote NO on Amendment 66, which is an Annual $1 Billion Tax increase.
They claim it’s for the classroom, but there is NOTHING in the bill that requires that.

Also, Vote for the Conservative Douglas County School Board Candidates to continue our amazing success!

Geddes, Reynolds, Benevento, and Silverthorn.

“But if we don’t do it, who will?”

Home School - the problem is always much bigger than what a handful of parents can deal with...

They made it this way so whatever opposition comes up - it can be swiftly dealt with. That’s the new politics of the US.

The only way to beat it - is not to play the game. Yes, that means hardships on families pulling their kids out of the socialist school system - or keep them in there and supplement the education with meaningful Christian Conservative assignments during the weekend to counter and bulk up what they are not getting in the public school system.

Same goes for college - there are a number of conservative online colleges out there - why send them them away - when the Internet online college offer better courses that the STUDENT is responsible for - there’s alot of writing and critical thinking that goes into it!

There are ways to counter this - but trying to take down a castle wall with a plastic spoon is not one of them...let the castle remain empty by leaving it!

Who is paying for all the “conservative” common core radio ads? Why are we getting carpet bombed with them in FL now? It’s like the amnesty PR campaign all over again. Disgusting.

Just read a newspaper article that freshman English classes are dropping novels like “To Kill a Mockingbird” to make room for nonfiction texts such as “How to Re-Imagine the World.” From Amazon about the book: Who says that all possible social and political systems have already been invented? Or that work—or marriage, or environmentalism, or anything else—must be just what they are now? This book is a conceptual toolbox for imagining and initiating radical social change.

In my house public school is supplemental. I the parent see it as my duty to raise my children and build their minds. I don't like seeing what they bring home for classwork, point is I look. I teach them how to absorb the world around us. How to observe and listen. And strategies people use in manipulating others. The greatest lessons can be taught to our children by spending time with them and playing games.

Good article. Thanks for posting (I’d have missed it otherwise).
