I don’t understand how the Asians manage to standardize education and get great results while Americans can’t do it without screwing everything up.

Here’s the deal. Education better be taught in Espanol because the Baby Boomers who funded the Federal Government for the last 50 years didn’t have enough children to fund your bullshit! They couldn’t AFFORD to! Y’all hate us now? Come on, come on!!!

From the article: "the U.S. Department of Education for the Race to the Top Program"

"Race to the Top," indeed. I take from this two unintended meanings:

- First, race has been pushed to the top--of everything.

- Second, which race is being pushed to the top, or rather, which race is being held down?

I’ve never seen anything in the Constitution that entitles the feral government to take command of education.

I don’t see anything wring with common core in math and english. It’s good to know across states which schools have students better able to solve for x in 5x + 2 = 7.

but “voluntary” means that the district gets cut off from major federal funding if it does not adopt the standards, so “voluntary” is subjective
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Dana, honey, voluntary now means involuntary. You need to catch up your Newspeak. OINK!

I have little doubt Common Core will soon turn whatever is left of our once fine public education system into a Common Corpse...
