It is time to abolish the US Federal Department of Socialist Indoctrination.
If that's not in the near future, it's time to seriously talk about secession.
Get used to it Arne!! More states are going to pull out of this sham!
I tried to help my nephew with his math homework and it was indecipherable!
I solved the problems the old way, the way that worked. No drawings. No shadings. Just numbers.
The states created the federal government.
“U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan struck back by vaguely suggesting that the federal government may now punish Oklahoma. Duncan asserted that ‘40 percent of high school graduates’ in Oklahoma ‘have to take remedial classes when they go to college’ and only 25 percent of Oklahomas eighth-graders in math are ‘proficient.’
Arne, you Big Government dunce—you need to reenroll in the 6th grade. If the District of Corruption is so good at setting standards, then we should hold the achievement level of the students in D.C. out as the gold standard, right?
Kill Commie Core now!
Yeah that's it, blame the girl!
It’s not Common Core, it’s ObamaCore.
The point of the Common Core curriculum is to make math equally difficult for all students. Common Core teaches math the way special ed teachers teach math to students with a math disability, doing an end around simple math calculations. The idea is to even out the perceived advantage of White students over Blacks and Hispanics, who seem to be over burdened with math disabilities.
I wonder how much money Oklahoma sends in to the DoEd and how much they get back.
I’ll bet they would be better off just keeping the money and telling Duncan to pound sand.
Hoops time Arne. OK is OK.
They are still going to have to fight union control of local school boards on the Common Core. Just because ObamaCore is not a state mandate, it doesn’t mean that local school boards will not try to implement it.
Arnie’s expertise comes from running the Chicago public schools (the ones none of his Hyde Park elitist pals use)
what is their math proficiency and graduation rate?
It’s also to separate children from parents, who can’t help their children with these stupid methods.
The linked article actually has paragraph breaks, making it much easier to read.
Formatting is your friend
...a fact lost on most Americans.
...thanks in large part by the public education system.
