Maybe you shouldn’t paint with such a broad brush. First, my kids will not get Communist Core as they go to a private school that does not accept gov funds and does not teach CC. Many parents in our school have sacrificed much to create, promote, and fund a school that follows a classical, Western curriculum.
Second, my comment above was in reference to a comment that indicated the poster didn’t care about what happened to education because their children aren’t utilizing the public school system. My point was WE ALL should care. The education system as it currently stands has ramifications on all of us.
Then care about it at the local/state level. End all federal government involvement in education. If CA wants to teach kids they were spawned from the swamp, who cares?

Now, Coleman is in charge of the most important test score a student can receive. As president of the College Board, a national education company, he is redesigning the SAT, the standardized test taken by many high school seniors as a part of the college application process. He is also expanding the Advanced Placement program, which offers college-level classes and tests for high school students.

New information on Common Core alignment by the ACT, SAT, and even GED exams raises questions about the impact Common Core will have on private and homeschooled students and their ability to opt out of the federally incentivized standards if they want to apply for college.
David Coleman, new head of the College Boardwhich administers the SATsaid in an interview with Education Week that one of his top priorities is to align the SAT with the new standards. The Common Core provides substantial opportunity to make the SAT even more reflective of what higher education wants.

Again not my problem. The Education system has been broken for generations, and the teachers suck and are brainwashed. The few good teachers who are not libs are drummed out. That will not change anytime soon no matter what Trump does or does not do. Which is EXACTLY why I am homeschooling. She will have advantages well beyond other children and that is fine with me. Frankly I would like to see public schools disappear altogether.
If you think that is ‘selfish’ so be it. She is my priority.

The education system as it currently stands is not an education system, it is pure secular indoctrination in false tenets.
The quicker it dies, the better for all.
