I’d say that’s pretty revealing.
I'd say that too, but I still don't get the reference to the curriculum, which is what they are teaching, not not the "Children are being diagnosed by psychologists" issue referenced above.
Like I say, I'm just trying to understand the story, not to justify anything, and certainly not Common Core.

from the video/ transcript on the link:
There is now a “common core syndrome”.
A syndrome named for the curriculum/ program says it all.

Here is the transcript of her speech:
I’m a teacher in the state of New York, and as such I am a mandated reporter. And I’m here to report that we are abusing children in the state of New York. (Applause).
There is now a common core syndrome. Do you understand what that means? We have children that are being diagnosed by psychologists with a syndrome directly related to work they do in the class room. If that’s not child abuse, I don’t know what is.
I’m very happy Miss Tisch that you’re here, because I have fifty letters with me and I’ve mailed you three hundred others asking for Mr. King’s resignation and firing.
I have no problem being judged by anyone, I was judged as ‘highly effective’ last year as Dr. Joe Relick can attest to. Obviously Mr. King, you’re ineffective – 70% of the children in this state failed your test.
I appreciate, Mr. Flanagan, that you’re listening. But I’m not sure you’re hearing. So what I’m going to tell you is, because you’ve awoken the mommies you’re in trouble. What’s going to happen is that hundreds of thousands of mommies are going to fill out this form and they are going to have their children refuse to take the test, because the mommies in New York don’t abuse their children. And they’re not going to let bullies do that either. (Standing Ovation)
