I teach at a middle school, where Common Core Math is being taught. Speaking with the Enrichment Teacher, she informed me that her top students are struggling with it. In her estimation they are breaking something that isn't broken.

That along with some other issues in our school have been enough for her to retire early losing her medical coverage.

I’ve put together an ammo list for you, included this one in it. Go to your State’s Eagle Forum and sign up for their news letter, it will contain the latest news for CC at state level for you. Use it well FRiends.

I got out of HS just before they brought the first New Math on board. When my boys became school age math and reading were so different. I had to go back to scratch and use the old 50’s model of Dick and Jane and flash cards to teach them to read and do math at the lower levels, Hubby handled the higher levels.

My Husband is a Ret SCPO 20 yrs, besides his cruises, he taught A/B school Electronics and Computer Science. Lots of math needed. When he retired, he went to college to get his teaching degree. Taught 20 yrs Jr. College. ALL the Memphis City School kids that graduated with A/B’s in Math first had to take his REMEDIAL MATH course, their knowledge of math was that bad. He taught the same subjects in College as he did in the Navy. County school kids did not need the Remedial nor did his foreign students. Only MEMPHIS kids. Most schools are under threat of state take over.

Until they dropped their school charter in a bid to take over both city and county schools. They were already getting $3 out of ever $4 education dollars for the entire of Shelby CO. The “Tiny Towns” REBELLED and voted to form their own school districts, Memphis counter sued, went to the TN Legislature, up shot the Tiny Towns got to revote, and approve forming their own school districts. Instead of being under FAILING Memphis crooked politician rule, who want their people SHEEPLES.

Common Core is DAMAGING our children.

Hollywood Actress: Public Schools Are Brainwashing Kids With ‘Progressive Agenda’

“Of course school is the most political, because that’s where the progressive agenda is coming out the strongest and the hardest,” said Sorbo.

Sorbo said she was hesitant to reveal her faith or political beliefs publicly because of possible backlash and negative reaction from Hollywood.

But she could not remain silent on education.

“You people who send your kids to school, you have no idea what the schools are doing to their fresh little brains, in brainwashing them into this progressive, liberal—it’s antithetical to America, the agenda that they’re being indoctrinated with,” Sorbo said.
