And they're brass.
I appreciate his efforts. But the devil is in the details. I have family members in the Florida public education system. It’s essentially unfixable.
Thank goodness- possibly kids will learn 1 + 1 = 2 again.
Another Jeb! idea flushed😊
I worked at a Regional Office of Education when they (common core standards) were introduced. A whole generation has been ruined . . .not to mention the educators who were teaching them. Students were not allowed to add 1 plus 1 without a picture and description. I always asked the question, “How were the skyscrapers built, etc. etc. etc. without common core?” I hope he takes a look at his state’s bullying programs, sex ed programs, too.
Reading, writing, arithmetic, American history...
All from text books written before 1950...
I am jealous of Floridians, what a great governor. I wish we had someone like him. I’m in Illinois….
DeSantis for president, someday?
It was introduced in 2010. At this rate, 49 more states will have banned it in 539 years.
Yeb! has a sad.
“I appreciate his efforts. But the devil is in the details. I have family members in the Florida public education system. It’s essentially unfixable.”
My thought too - if the schools and the teachers want Common Core, there ain’t a damn thing any politician can do about it. Here in Texas we used to have nationally famous ‘Textbook Wars’ where our elected State Board of Education tried to require things like learning reading, math, and history, without learning to hate the United States. So the state would pay for approved textbooks, but not unapproved.
The Textbook Wars used to be big news, because the SBOE was always conservative. But the schools found a way around it. They went to on-line course material and simply bypassed the SBOE to get their America-Hating agenda back in the classroom. It took nearly 10 years for the politicians to even figure out what was going on, and I still don’t know if they figured out a way to stop it.
We have a whistleblower from a school in Florida where the school hid (didn’t report) assaults, bomb threats, etc to the state. She released the data and was fired by the school district.
I am beyond glad that I went to a one room school 1947 thru spring 1952.....
MOVE to Florida. No matter what-—GET OUT of Illinois.
If Trump doesn’t run DeSantis is my first choice. If Trump runs he should be the VP.
He’s everything that milque toast Pence wasn’t - a fighter like Trump.
Local Miami media gritted its collective teeth and covered DeSantis today, since he was in Miami to announce the event.
The liberal superintendent of Miami Dade schools apparently refused to show up, but put out a tweet—happy Common Core is gone, but the lib reportedly REFUSED to mention the governor by name.
One lady I saw on stage with Ron DeSantis refused to even shake his hand.
Liberals are so rude and self-centered.
It depends on the county - St. Johns schools are awesome-run by adults.
Just leave your politics back in your liberal hellholes when you do. We’re up to our ears in northern transplants down here.
Thanks
MY GOVERNOR!!!!!!!!!!!
