Liberal teacher: Common Core like education system I saw in Soviet Union

Wait a minute… a liberal bringing up Communism?!?!

HOOKSETT, N.H. –
The New Hampshire Union Leader published a guest op/ed from a teacher who identifies herself as a liberal. Diane Sekula is a teacher in Hooksett, NH and she was responding to a published article that said Common Core is a conservative flashpoint.

Sekula writes:

I come from a staunch Democrat family. By most people’s standards, I would be considered liberal. I am also, however, very much against Common Core. Public dissatisfaction with Common Core is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of importance for anyone interested in doing what’s best for the children of New Hampshire.

She points out that this current path that education is on is one she saw in the former Soviet Union. Wait a minute… a liberal bringing up Communism?!?! Are we sure she’s not a closet tea party activist? (Just kidding…)

This isn't accurate at all.
In the former Soviet Union and communist countries children and students aren't treated equal. Their education system recognizes the strengths an individual has.
If a student excels at science they are directed toward an education and a career path such as medicine. If they excel in a sport such as ice skating their formal education takes backstage and focus is put on their talent.
If a student shows little or no academic skills they are relegated to vocational training and or jobs in the menial labor field.
Education was one of the few things the communists did right.
