After Years of Common Core, Betsy DeVos Announces ‘Devastating’ Results

Conservative Fighters ^

[DOC44]

Years after Common Core made its debut in many state education systems, the disastrous long-term results of the program are finally being seen.

The students’ reading assessment paints a grim picture of educational readiness, with tested fourth and eighth graders failing to best the previous test’s results. This year’s results were only marginally better than those from 1992.

The mathematics scores show the most damning results — an upward trend until the year 2015, when the momentum seemed to grind to a halt. Although there were double-digit gains since the ’90s, fourth graders only managed to score a single point above their previous tests. Eighth graders failed to meet that low standard, sinking below their predecessors from two years before.

This failure in U.S. schools comes at a time when Chinese students appear to be blowing American children out of the water.

If we expect our future engineers, scientists, and mathematicians to compete in an increasingly globalized world, it’s clear that Common Core needs to be abandoned.

Thanks Robert A Cook PE. Common Core was designed to destroy competent thinking and the public education system (such as it is).

Find me a single conservative school system in the country and I will show you a system that is doing very well. They are very few and far between.

Good point. I will mention this to my grandchildren when I see them.

If we move aside Leftist pretensions of ‘scientifically enlightened” and neutrality (secular) we’ll discover that occult pantheism has been there all along. Within the worldview of occult pantheism, individual thought is simply not allowed as the energy field worshipped as reality does not think. Therefore, only gnostic mystics can know anything about the energy field via transcendental meditation, yoga, brain drugs, and other ways of shutting down and emptying the mind. The now deceased Robert Mueller was the father of Common Core. An occult pantheist, he grounded Common Core in Helena Blavatsky’s Luciferian Theosophy.

I’d like info on that. I’ve hated the public edcuation system my entire life. I have read it was originally based on the Prussian system, designed from decades ago to create drones.

How effective has DeVos been overall?

Some things are best fixed by breaking the things that are breaking things, e.g. just getting the government out of it so that the old trinity of parents, principals and teachers can fix things. If any of that trio aren't doing their job, nothing from DC can fix it.
