Common Core Blockbuster: Mathematician Dr. Jim Milgram Warns Common Core Will Destroy...
Breitbart ^ | 9/1/14 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 09/02/2014 7:35:59 AM PDT by BlatherNaut

During a Friday conference call sponsored by Texas-based Women on the Wall, Stanford mathematician and former member of the Common Core Validation Committee Dr. James Milgram, told listeners that if the controversial standards are not repealed, America’s place as a competitor in the technology industry will ultimately be severely undermined. “In the future, if we want to work with the top level people, we’re going to have to go to China or Japan or Korea… and that’s the future we’re looking at,” Milgram said during the call that was part of a day-long Twitter campaign to target Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s (R) decision merely to “rebrand” the Common Core standards in his state, even though he has a Republican supermajority in the legislature and an appointed state board of education.

Common Core math:

If 2 is a number and 1 is a number then 2=1

I can't read the article, because I am so incensed by the grouping of the desks.

There is a psychology behind this and I don't like it one bit.

The students with the folders angled so that others cannot see what they are writing down.

What the hell is up with that?

Not true. Who we will go to will be the home schooled.

The left has told us for years that money and wealth are evil. That is their moral right to destroy our economy. What they have not told us is that they want to destroy our intellect so that they don’t have to compete in the market of ideas. Pure evil.

The first rule of liberalism: it accomplishes the exact opposite of how it was sold to the public.

2 + 2 = 5.

Our early estimated were overstated.

..and that statement is almost 100% correct - kind of like the % that a liberal is lying. And the two concepts are related (as you know of course).

Years and years ago when I was going through my elementary-high school education, it was rare to have desks right next to each other. Usually the desks were in lined up in rows. However, in recent years this arrangement of desks in rows is rare. This is mainly due to the current focus on “cooperative learning”.

One of the big problems most teachers will complain about is that students are always talking to one another in class. But sitting right next to other students actually can make this problem worse, in addition to the fact that it makes it so much easier for students to have wandering eyes during test time.

Jebbie Bush is a big booster of Common Core, and millions of Republican primary voters are just waiting to boost Jebbie for 2016.

There is no education paradigm perped by a liberal that is anything other than a complete failure.

The goon Ayers is a good example...lots of publications, no discernible ideas.

Justice will finally be served when someone pulls a “muslim” on that dork.
