COMMON SENSE NOT COMMON CORE
Common Core was not piloted before it was adopted nationwide. Why? School systems were not meeting the testing demands of No Child Left Behind. The same kids who weren't doing well before NCLB and during NCLB won't do well with Common Core either, but all curriculum was changed to accommodate their lack of performance.
ReplyDeletewell, what in the hello does that tell you? wake up folks. sounds to me the current government schools with their bureaucrats and poorly trained teachers (not all) need to be scrapped.
ReplyDeletethe fact that our government schools have been failing our students for 30 years is no secret to anyone who's been paying attention.
common core is just ONE MORE experiment on our children and it won't work either.
bottom line. give the money to the parents so they can determine how and where to educate their children; you know "PRO CHOICE" in education. hmmmmmm. I won't go there for now.
My High School just received common core literature from the local LIBRARY!
ReplyDeleteWhy is the library spending tax payer's money to promote common core data bases?
"Local school boards have lost curriculum control over their schools"
ReplyDeleteThat is because they caved in due to federal funding. If they did not accept Obama's Common Core Curriculum they would not receive the much needed funding for the schools.
Sounds like Obamacare doesn't it.
Worcester County has an elected school board. The best thing they can do is vote out the current school board.
