A little-known aspect of Common Core should have students worried about what goes on the dreaded "permanent record," say critics of the national education standard.
Parents in Pennsylvania have written outgoing Gov. Tom Corbett to demand a moratorium on the collection of what they describe as sensitive and personal information on students, which they say is part of a federal database to track the development of every child. And education activists around the nation say it is part and parcel of the controversial campaign to impose a uniform, national standard for math and English.
“This follows them from the cradle to the grave,” said Tracy Ramey, of Pennsylvanians against Common Core. Her group, along with Pennsylvanians Restoring Education, recently wrote Corbett to demand the shutdown of the state’s Pennsylvania Information Management System (PIMS) in all 500 school districts.

Homeschool or Christian School if you can...
ARTH Ping.
Teachers in at least some public schools were having kids answer a few of the questions from at least one psych. battery test (MMPI) over 10 years ago. What I’m seeing in complaints about Common Core, I already saw as a sub while considering teaching and left it behind because of the corruption.
“If your parents keep guns at home, how do you feel about that?”
An’ Obama is helping the Democrats build a database on every voter... didn’t barbara boxer tell us something like that???
“sensitive and personal information on students”
I’m surprised that Obama hasn’t objected to this...he of the sealed records and mysterious and hidden background.
How else are they going to determine who “needs” euthanization?
It was Maxine Waters. “0bama has a database.”
That’s ok, the schools that MY CHILDREN go to would NEVER allow that...and anyway, they’re free, so I can finally buy my boat (oooh, that boat).
(how us FReepers rationalize still sending our kids to public schools, despite what we keep reading here)
We homeschool. Our kids are way ahead of the bell curve, and it’s amazing what two or three good hours of attention does over what they’d get in a class of 25 - 30.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
This is how they found the homeschoolers.
Yup. Kids just naturally tattle when they’re younger with no ill intent. Setting up psych profiles when they’re young will only help the “authorities” when the need arises. Part of the infamous “permanent record”. Medicare keep reminding me I haven’t “taken advantage” of depression screening, alcohol/substance abuse counseling or tobacco cessation sessions that are available. Now why would I “take advantage” of those?
I’d much love to see my own “permanent record”. I’m now 69 years old so I doubt that it would affect my life............anymore.
I wonder if that time I stuck bubble gum in Susie’s hair is really on my permanent record. If so it probably ruined my chances of being POTUS.
