Common Core

[HenryBHough]

OMG, confession of Democrat affections though not YET of outright card-carrying membership! It'll come, Shakey, if you stroke it long enough.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Your lisping, Henry.

 

[HenryBHough]

Keep stroking. In time they'll issue a full embossed plastic Democrat-kinderkard.

The far right have no idea what Common Core is, for a fact.

48 states have adopted it, and the state agencies create the Knowledge, Skills, and Assessment.

The far right, particularly the social con reactionaries, are terrified that their children will be taught differently than at home.

Solution: private school, home school.

Common core have their hooks in private schools and home schools as well because its federal.
remember the old saying "central planning"

 

[tyroneweaver]

The federal government has zero Constitutional role in education. It has historically been a state and local function and should remain as such 100%.

Common Core State Standards Initiative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

l

Common Core IS a state-sponsored initiative. Look it up.

It receives a large chunk of federal funding

yup and the glue is the IB test. Children have to take the test for the states to receive the federal funding.

 

[1776]

Common Core is another socialist planning program to "indoctrinate" the children to become socialists or just accept it. The socialists have always understood getting to the children was key. That is why they killed off their parents in Cambodia and threw the children in indoctrination camps....

The STATES control the programs, the assessments and the skills.

What you are mad about is that the social conservatives have lost control of the process at the state and many of the district levels.

You should not have control because your % continues to drop.

The STATES design it and run it.

There is a fallacious statement if ever there was one tonight on the Board.

 

[Samson]

Beyond partisan politics, beyond supporting one's own ideas over another's.

This is getting out of control, people. This is sick.

The Government takes our Tax money, seizes it, and turns it around to attack half the population...

Something's wrong with this Country and I can tell you what it is with one word.....

Common Core Pushing Social Justice . . . During Math Lessons…

If two community organizers are white, another one is black and the fourth is Asian, how many community organizers benefit from white privilege?

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Would you ever consider the question ‘Whom do you want to be president?’ to be asked of your third grader during a math class (or any class)?

Would you expect your fourth grader to be asked to create a chart of presidents along with their political persuasions? Or, how about a discussion on whether the 2000 presidential election resulted in a “fair” outcome? Or, what if the teacher for your sixth grader was advised to “be prepared” to discuss the “politically charged” 2000 election - all during math.

Common Core aligned, of course.

A curriculum developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics includes all of the above, all provided on the illuminations.nctm.org website, which claims to be the...

“primary contributor of resources for teaching and learning mathematics for grades pre-K—12.

”

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics will be holding a conference April 9-12 in New Orleans where they will be discussing

“such crucial issues as formative assessment in the common core state standards, number and operations, social justice, teaching computational fluency with understanding, leveraging technology, and supporting new teachers.” [Emphasis added]

Social Justice? During math?

You do realize, 3rd graders cannot vote?

And teaching 4th graders to make a graph in Math class is not all that unusual?
