Catholic schools can get passed this. In NY some of the s best Catholic HSs do not give NYS Regents exams. When a state assembly committee member questioned one principal saying he believed parents had a right to know how well the school was doing and Regents exams showed those results, the principal replied, “99% of our graduates got to 4 year colleges. Last year we sent 34 students to Notre Dame. Those are how we and our parents measure results.” The committee tabled any bill requiring regents in private schools. So Catholic schools can avoid this.

Bill Whittle "Afterburner: The Cookie Cutter Curriculum".

Please take the time to watch this. It is a stunningly brilliant and entertaining commentary by Bill Whittle on Common Core.

And send it to everyone you know...

"...whether the NCEA’s President had put the proverbial “cart before the horse” by accepting money for staff development programs to implement the Common Core in Catholic schools from the Gates Foundation which is promoting the Common Core.."

These initiatives like Common Core are corrosive agents on our freedom, especially if your freedom involves running a school with a religious agenda.

Christians should be wary about it.

It is omnipotent, regardless of monks, foundations and even money. Everything else in my opinion is barricades to guide the flock. I think we are loosing sight of if we are building barricades keep us in or keep us out. Most barricades, I find keep me out, not in. Jackson Browne touches on this point quite well in the song barricades. The main point is the spirit and not so much the presentation. Freedom leads to the things we truly want.
