“Ohio Governor John Kasich announced earlier this week that he is firmly in support of the national Common Core standards.”
This prattling on about Common Core standards is the main DECEPTION of proponents of Common Core.
They tend to make people believe that schools never had any standards, or that their standards were not good enough.
The standards in Common Core — some are okay, some not, but it is blatant anti-American indoctrination of Common Core that is so hideous. In twelve years of Common Core, students who are educated under it will not be recognizable as Americans. They will be “citizens of the world”.
And they won’t be able to do basic math.
They also lie about how the curricula aren't set nationally, that they are set locally. Sure, if your local suburb wants to go out and invent its own curriculum, hire people to write text books and then publish them just for your district, and generate your own testing. Otherwise you use the same "common core compliant" books as everyone else. So tell us again how the local schools get to come up with their own curricula.
