I spoke to a Worcester County School Board member a few months ago and expressed my concerns about our loss of local control. I told him, "whoever controls the test, controls the curriculum." His reply was, "that's a talking point."
I must admit that it's great having an elected school board member who knows more on the subject of loss of local control than the Chief Architect of the Common Core State Standards and CEO of the College Board, David Coleman and the biggest supporter, benefactor and investor, (to the tune of over $6B), Bill Gates.
Below are 2 short video's from Gates & Coleman disagreeing with that school board member.
It may be a talking point, but it is also substantively true! So question to the school board member; what are you going to do about preventing the federal government from taking over the curriculum? Which by the way is unconstitutional!
sounds like something "my school board representative" would say - "that train has left the station" sound familiar?
