Common Core Report Cards Now Grading Children on "Sensitivity to Others"
Pundit Press ^ | 1/29/15 | Aurelius

Common Core-aligned report cards are now grading students based on their “sensitivity to others,” as well as “grit” and “gratitude” across California.

Instead of having standard grades based on students’ proficiency in classes alone, these “detailed reports” now report whether students are sensitive and assigns them a grade.

At Harry Dewey Fundamental Elementary School, for grit, gratitude, and sensitivity toward others, students will now receive one of four possible grades: “A for almost always, O for often, S for sometimes, and R for rarely.” Other districts, such as Sacramento City Unified, have a similar grading scheme, but is a scale that runs from “outstanding” to “needs improvement.”

I’d be OK with this is some of the categories were “Takes Responsibility” and “Doesn’t Make Excuses or Look to Blame Others” and “Is Self-Sufficient” and “Hard Worker”.

Barack Obama's SOTU report card doesn't look good.

Takes Responsibility

Doesn’t Make Excuses or Look to Blame Others

See what happens when you “legalize” marijuana and then “tax the hell out of it”? You get this kind of idiocy.

Sounds like the pedophiles are trying to identify children most vulnerable to them.

Da:6:6: Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

Da:6:7: All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellers, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

Da:6:8: Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

Da:6:9: Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

Da:6:10: Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

Da:6:11: Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

Da:6:12: Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

You’re right. They don’t need to. Everyone has a medical marijuana card.

You know, this new smug stupidity makes me want to smack the designers of Common Core more than anything else I’ve read about it. When I was a kid, we had that same sort of cr*p in our report cards. I remember when I was in second grade, my teacher had checked off, “Annoys Others.” I was like, WTF? What others am I annoying? Now, as an adult, I realize that the “other” I was annoying was the teacher! But back then it hurt my feelings terribly. These smug bureaucrats don’t realize that their little petty pronouncements actually are painful to others, especially a little kid.

One more reason to homeschool....
