The only justification for Common Core would be:
“We are smarter in Washington DC, and we think everyone should be learning the same thing, taught in the same way, with the same ideas and the same thoughts. Then we’ll all be on the same page.”
Isn’t same grand? We really think differences suck.”
This will put Jeb Bush on the same communal ground as the communal hippies of the 60’s. The media will be so proud of him.
Jeb ought be in the dem party
Don’t need more Elite BS,he can explain it by sending his kids or grandkids to schools teaching this crap,that includes Obama and all his henchman,who send their kids to exclusive schools where they don’t do experiments on the kids
Support for Common Core by politicians is easy to explain.
They have destroyed American public schools over the last sixty years. There is no explanation for what has happened that is politically correct or psychologically acceptable.
Therefore, a series of increasingly bizarre educational theories have resulted in “new programs”, fueled by torrents of taxpayer money and presenting themselves with increasing frequency. Teachers, wanting to be “up in the latest knowledge” so they don’t “fail their students” are now a caricature of their former selves as they recite lessons from curricula that nobody, themselves included, understand.
Common Core is just the latest permutation. It has the most government funding of all, and a lot of big, famous names (”experts”).
But its bottom line is the same as all the rest - “no student fails - only the system fails”.
My grandmother taught in NYC public for fifty years (1911-1961). Her line about students who could not or did not get with her program, “somebody has to clean the subways”, is what’s missing from our schools these past sixty years.
I keep wanting to know why he and daddy met secretly with odumbo at the white house a few years back. What was agreed upon? Has anyone ever heard?
