PAY TO PLAY Education with billions in profits to those supporting Bush and GOPEE

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bkmrk.

[hoosiermama]

How involved is Mike Huckabee in this?

[Paladin2]

Remember, Yheb! wants/needs zer0 support from the Base.

[hoosiermama]

Is this an attempt to control our education system similar to ObamacRe controlling the medical?

[surroundedbyblue]

This right here is why I will ONLY support a non-establishment candidate. Trump or Cruz. No exceptions.

Rubio, Yeb, and the rest of the GOPe candidates can go pound salt.

[surroundedbyblue]

Yes. Others can speak to this more articulately than I can but the short answer to your question is yes. The entire underpinnings of this “curriculum” is collectivism. And it is riddled with data mining via these iPads.

[knarf]

In the schools now and has been for a couple of years (at least)

[Maudeen]

It is all about womb to the tomb data mining. Technology specialists have always been in charge. The common core fiasco was secondary. It is really not about the students and their education . . .it is about the collection of data on the entire family.

Bill Gates, Jeb Bush, Oprah and Warren Buffett meeting at SC island

Posted: May 10, 2013 10:39 AM CST

CHARLESTON, SC - Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft and one of the richest people in the world, is spending time in the Lowcountry.

WCBD confirmed the American business magnate is at the Sanctuary on Kiawah Island.

Suspicion was raised when nearly 20 very expensive jets were seen lined up at the Charleston International Airport on Johns Island.

Officials with the Beach Company confirmed to WCBD that other big names such as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, TV host Oprah Winfrey and Billionaire Warren Buffet flew into the Charleston Executive airport on Johns Island Wednesday night.

Other prominent people said to also be staying there this weekend are Jeb Bush and Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The famous guests were attending a two day long conference led by Microsoft founder Bill Gates. Officials say the meeting was about the foundation Gates and his wife Linda run.

The meeting rented out the entire Sanctuary Hotel on the gated island. Security has been high throughout the entire week, keeping the public away from the hotel.

WCBD spoke to the Mayor of Kiawah by phone who said the town is happy to serve as host to the event.

Do you think Jeb has gone ‘postal’?

[Slyfox]

The entire underpinnings of this “curriculum” is collectivism.

Yes. One of the guys who got it going was none other than Bill Ayers and the mechanism by which it is employed is through the lessons concerning critical thinking skills.

The recent event that took place where the teacher was planning on failing her students if they did not deny God - this happened in a critical thinking lesson.

It is bad stuff. And it was all created to get kids to think critically, but also amorally, just so they will fit right in when the Ayers-Obama collective utopia kicks in.

Michael A. Smith: Common Core a breath of fresh air
Wichita Eagle, The (KS) - June 30, 2013

Author/Byline: Michael A. Smith

(snip)

Common Core should be a conservative triumph. Initiated by a bipartisan group of governors, it aims to replace the convoluted, overlapping regime of state No Child Left Behind standards. Instead, it proposes a relatively straightforward set of principles, voluntarily and jointly adopted by multiple states.

Supportive Republicans include current and former governors and education secretaries: Mike Huckabee, Jeb Bush, Bill Bennett, John Engler, Chris Christie, Sonny Perdue, Bobby Jindal, Rod Paige and Mitch Daniels.

Common Core was originally founded by the National Governors Association. Some of its suporters are Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas and current FOX News Host; Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin; Mary Fallin, Governor of Oklahoma; Bobby Fallin, Governor of Louisiana; Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida; Bill Bennett, Secretary of Education for Ronald Reagan; Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey; Mitch Daniels, former Governor of Indiana; Bill Haslam, governor of Tennesse; John Engler, former Governor of Michigan; and the U.S Chamber of Commerce.

Some presidential hopefuls shift stances on Common Core

Not only the billions received from this massive “Pay to Play” Common Core education scam, but also from those just trying to keep their jobs.

I don’t believe it even mentioned how certain jobs (Government & Government Contractor) are mandated to continually feed this Pearson monster.

Every worker on certain positions are constantly paying annually for their continuing education units to keep current and eduction and Pearson fee hoop jumping in mandated ‘CE’ credits for certifications.

Another hitch is also the continually moving goal posts of which and how many certifications are needed for any particular positions which never change in duties. Somebody is making out like bandit.

[TianaHighrider]

Clarification from my last post, for the Government jobs, that means the taxpayer is paying for all of those Certifications and Continuing Education units to keep those jobs (annually).

For Contractor and supports, those fees would have to come from profits from those Gov contracts - which are paid by added costs to those contracts (taxpayers).

[SE Mom]

I’ve not paid too much attention to Common Core except to note it’s one of the few things Jeb seems to feel strongly about, in itself a clue.

Read a couple of articles you linked to and see Huck and Jindal, even Christie have backed off supporting it. Huck said it started out as a good idea, governors working together and cutting out the fed, but its morphed into something far different.

I am always suspicious when the feds want more control ..I’m going to research some more.

[TianaHighrider]

Hmm. come to think of it, all of those CommonCore testing monies are also paid by the TAXPAYER too. Isn’t that special.

Taxpayers presently now are funding Pearson to test people from toddler through old-age. This applies whether they are in the public section or private jobs and it is constantly growing which jobs and what testing is required. Maybe ‘special’ isn’t the right word here, but rather, isn’t that convenient!
