JEB BUSH WILL MAKE YOU FLIP: SAYS HE WILL CONVINCE GOP GRASSROOTS TO EMBRACE COMMON CORE
Breitbart ^ | 5-12-15 | by DR. SUSAN BERRY

Posted on 05/12/2015 1:56:14 PM PDT by kingattax

Likely GOP presidential contender Jeb Bush says he will try to convince grassroots groups of parents who oppose the Common Core standards to flip-flop and embrace the education initiative.

When Megyn Kelly of Fox News Channel’s The Kelly File observed how unpopular the Common Core initiative is with grassroots conservatives in particular, Bush responded: “Common Core means a lot of things to different people, so they could be right, based on what’s in front of them…but the simple fact is we need higher standards; they need to be state-driven.

The federal government should play no role in this – either in the creation of standards, content, or curriculum…”

I wonder if Jeb listens mostly to American music or Mexican music at home. Just a frame of mind question.

I’m not a Bush supporter, but I fail to see how his quote squares with the headline.

they need to be state-driven.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here's a novel idea! PARENT driven!

Yeah! I am shouting, jumping up and down, and having a fit!

What is needed is complete separation of SCHOOL and state.

Jeb Bush, pelisse go AWAY!

Holy. Mackerel.

“The federal government should play no role in this – either in the creation of standards, content, or curriculum…”

So... this is a bit like saying, “We need the IRS, because the feds have no business being involved in revenue management...”

Is he seriously unaware of the fact that “Common Core” has been fed-driven from day-1? Billions of tax-payer dollars as “incentives” for adopting this disaster-area is “playing no role”?

Wow...

Hmmmm, well this is kinda interesting...

Not that I trust him at all, ...

“Common Core means a lot of things to different people, so they could be right, based on what’s in front of them…but the simple fact is we need higher standards; they need to be state-driven. The federal government should play no role in this – either in the creation of standards, content, or curriculum…”

So, if he really believes this, then he is saying that we can drop NEA, and all federal involvement in education, and that education powers are reserved for the states or the people therein. (10th amendment)

Good on him! Lets hold him to it!

I have something closer to home. My 8th grader and his Common Core Algebra. No thanks Jebster. Out of touch as his kids are grown.
