Teachers are exhausted and frustrated over the new Common Core curriculum, and their union and school boards want to slow down implementation and improve it.
But scores of parents from across Maryland told legislators they want to junk the whole thing altogether. They came to the House Ways & Means Committee Wednesday to support Del. Michael Smigiel’s bill (HB76) totally repealing the new standards.
Their reasons ranged from the political to the pedagogic. They objected to the new computerized tests being imposed and to the untested teaching methods. They invoked the Constitution, copyright law, corporate conspiracies and common sense.
Parents and grandparents told tales of frustrated children confused and slipping behind as they tried to learn under the new standards.

This Hearing was just another Annapolis dog & pony show - Del Smigiel was sabotaged by leadership and the MD Reporter joins the Setting Sun and DT as fishwraps of record - one thing those who testified both for and against agreed on is that the big business vultures are all over this.
