10-year-old Elizabeth Blaine dropped the mic at a Montclair, New Jersey, school board meeting Monday night, sharing her support for a policy that lets parents opt out their children from taking the Common Core test, also known as PARCC (Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers).
"I love to read. I love to write. I love to do math. But I don’t love the PARCC. Why? Because it stinks," Elizabeth said.
"This is crazy!" she continued. "I am one of the most gifted students in my grade (or so my mom says) and I have not even the slightest clue as to what this means."
"I am glad my mom and dad are letting me opt out, because I don’t want to deal with this nonsense."
The full text of Elizabeth's speech reads:
I love to read. I love to write. I love to do math. But I don’t love the PARCC. Why? Because it stinks.

From out of the mouths of babes...
she has far more sense than many of our politicians.
well put.
I as a 68 year old adult can make neither heads nor tails of common nonsense..
this child put it very succinctly
BRAVO!!!
She sure did
You can say that again
She’s getting all uppity thinking she knows mor than her betters!/sarc
Their goals are worthy ones, but they’re implementation just plain sucks.
If a ten-year old can see through this bs it speaks volumes on how stupid the adults are who came up with this garbage.
It’s really Communist Core.
They take away your brains and substitute Socialism.

I have to learn how to write kindle books, pronto. There’s money to be made explaining this common core crap to parents.
the content sucks
bart simpson might be a bit more crude....describing it...but just as dead on the money and equally succinct
Aside from the geometry I was doing all of this at age 10.
Why aren't these kids learning basic math?
The purpose of Common Core is to destroy learning.
Common Core is a weapon of mass destruction, and its supporters should be tried for treason and crimes against humanity.
Connect the dots folks. The Obama crew deliberately crafted the Affordable Care Act to be vague so as to hoodwink us into buying into it. You don’t think they did the same with this crap? And a child saw through it. God Almighty it’s stuff like this that makes me hate Obama as I do.
WIthout knowing the details, it sounds like this segment of Common Core doesn’t match what its asking with what has been taught. On their face, some of the questions might seem reasonable, but not for a ten year old, and not for her class if she says they haven’t been taught it. What kind of exam is that?
There is no doubt about it in my mind that they did
The goals aren’t worthy either.
It distresses me how devoted Jeb Bush is to this system. I’ve read articles that say the person who designed this Common Core Curriculum did so in order to shake up the order of things and remove the presumption of White Privledge.
