I didn't say all this
I said the three paragraphs of your original post
I didn't say it was BS
I had a far better, and more accurate description of it.

Back at ya Dude
Every word in your original source was a lie
Pockets of rebellion and resistance from a few? Interesting, what data did you use to determine that it is a “proportionally” few who disagree with common core Standards? Interesting that you cite resistance in states that have abysmal educational systems but fail to acknowledge that these same states (45 to date) have already adapted to common core standards with no appreciable improvement in educational quality. You also failed to explain why it wouldn’t be smart for a parent to challenge a system that, for all intent and purposes, is a failure?Pockets of rebellion... Outrage from a few. And it truly is, proportionally, a few. One of whom is home schooling out of a 1920's spelling book.
A parent's right, yes. Smart? Not so much....
Interesting that the articles you post cite resistance in states that already have abysmal educational systems.
Nothing much else to see here, and I read them all.
Some criticisms... Some probably valid, some probably reactionary and knee jerk responses to change.
Some patently false.
Like that it is being forced on the states, while at the same time -some- states are not adopting them.
I agreed that there would be some criticisms in the beginning. I even listed most of the ones in your references.
You have not provided anything to support your original post, or the claims you personally made re the subjects covered or the states being forced to adopt CC.
Incentivized, or bribed even if you want to spin it it the worst possible light, is not the same as forced.
I think it is really what it is. An effort to help improve education in math and science. With standards and accountability.
I am really not qualified to judge its effectiveness. My experience, training, and education is pretty much all aviation, not K-12 education.
Are you?
Is yours?
So, let's see...
Still.not.one.iota.of.evidence.that.Any.thing, even.One.thing, in your original post is valid.
And yes, I do read, a lot. Good stuff too. Not just news articles that satisfy my urge for confirmation of how I feel.
Recently finished War and Peace again. Working on Crime and Punishment now.
Do you?
This was good too... And it is free...

Still waiting for you to substantiate your allegations.
You are the OP
Back up your BS
Made it so easy a kid with ADD could comprehend it.
Yes, Math and English. It's imperative that we teach our children a new English language with new expressions to explain how balancing a national checkbook can't possibly lead to economic destruction for all. Math problem: how do you cover 32 million uninsured people for a mere 980 million dollars? Easy. Sell it with new English and Math by lying out our ass. Simple huh?Knot, L&G,
The Dellusional Dude's post had nothing to say about the educational value of CC in the areas it applies to, Math and English.
It did claim that somehow these Math and English standards will be an extremely, no, ultimately and universally, effective agent of social engineering. It claims that these Math and English standards will singlehandedly transform all of America's children into some new kind of pre-programmed, unthinking, uber-obedient neo-nazi Hitler Bomots.
It was that idiocy that did, and do, refute.
See that book right there . . War and Peace, there's your answer and everyone gets a trophy!I'm amused by your slurs and slanders as a deception from your total lack of knowledge of the issue.
Wake up and smell the roses....the program is becoming a dismal failure in many states already.....you should do as you say...read more.
America is the pilot program.......
