Teacher asks students to report on everything in family medicine cabinet

[Clementine]

Common Core seems less about education and more about getting into student's personal lives. They ask about guns, political views of parents and what they eat at home.

Now a teacher assigned students to write down everything in the medicine cabinets at home. This is going too far. It's none of their damn business if mom is on birth control or dad has high blood pressure medication. The teacher should be fired for being this creepy. Of course, she's not much different than those who support the whole nanny government and common crap curriculum. Schools are being intrusive and it's none of their business what goes on in people's homes. Just what do they intend to accomplish with all the information they collect? I'm sure some liberal idiots are dying to know about every aspect of people's private lives, like what everyone is eating, what politics are discussed around the dinner table, their feelings on religion and gays and whether the parents have guns. This is going too far. The school is claiming it was just a rogue teacher, but it goes right along with common core. The liberals even want doctors to ask about guns in the home and they want doctors and nurses to be able to speak with young girls without parents being present. This shit needs to stop.

So you gonna show us where it stipulates what you are claiming in common core by citing a reference in the manual?

Good find. Thanks for the news.

 

[Moonglow]

Still gonna buy that bridge I gotz?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Clementine, someone should report you for being creepy.

Where in Common Core does it instruct teachers to tell the students to report mom and dad's medications.

You are a freaky creepy person.

 

[ogibillm]

Op is bullshit. This, if it happened, has nothing to do with common core. I say if because the op is obviously an idiot thst can't be trusted to give facts

 

[S.J.]

The liberals on this site will defend it. They have defended child exploitation, voter fraud, and terrorism. This is nothing to them.

Its s good assignment, but it shouldn't be returned to the teacher.
still has nothing to do with common core

Yes, there is an effort to not only collect information on students, but to actually share it with government agencies and companies who are supposedly involved in education services. It is encouraged to collect personal details about students. I have no doubt that the teacher was just following the new practice of snooping into children's lives. There has been encouragement by government to discover whether students live in households with gun owners and they are quite interested in religion and political leanings. None of that has anything to do with education and everything to do with indoctrination. They want to know what influence parents have on their children. That would only matter to those who seek to undermine that influence. I have no doubt that other practices are encouraged even if they aren't written into the materials distributed for Common Core. The assignment the teacher gave is right in line with intrusive, controlling liberals. The teacher wants students to literally sneak into their parent's bathroom and write down all medication, OTC and prescription that are in their cabinet, along with any other personal items in there. The teacher would know any ailments that anyone in the family suffers from. That is downright creepy, but no more so than the school wanting to know what religion the families practice and their political views. The schools seem to be determined to fill out a detailed profile of every student. Of course, they can't just ask parents to fill out that information when they take their children to orientation. It would anger too many and they wouldn't get away with it. They must figure that getting the kids to talk at school and answer as many personal questions as possible is the better way to go about it. This teacher messed up because she sent the paper home and parents found out about it. It's no worse than what many schools are doing with data gathering. This is nothing new. In health classes, kids have been asked about activities of parents as well as siblings. The schools these days aren't teaching, they are interrogating students and it's the schools coming away with more knowledge about the personal lives of students and their families. Meanwhile, the students struggle with the Common Core crap and will end up being idiots if we keep this up. But, they'd be liberal idiots and that is the real goal here.

The need for data to track your child is of ultimate importance in education reform policies and establishing a managed work force. This can be done through information gathered from Common Core state standards, which will be aligned via the common assessments and the Shared Learning Registry some states now share. From a whitehouse.gov site:

Pearson has committed to supporting open and interoperable systems that put high-quality, personalized learning resources into the hands of teachers and students. In support of this goal, Pearson will share data into the Learning Registry about many of their existing learning resources, including those that support the Common Core State Standards so that they can be used in each student’s personal learning path.

More information from the site on the type of data the Federal Government will be gathering on your student:

Education.data.gov: The Department of Education announced the launch of education.data.gov – the site serves as a central guide for education data resources including high-value data sets, data visualization tools, resources for the classroom, applications created from open data and more. These datasets have been gathered from various agencies to provide detailed information on the state of education on all levels. (MEW note: If this is on a whitehouse.gov site, it causes a person to wonder how "state led initiatives" are now appearing on a federal link)

The question then must be asked, what does the government consider "high-value data sets on students, open data and more"? The government does not provide a detailed idea on this site of what the datasets will contain but we have an idea on what to expect from the datasets from the National Education Model and the Illinois Data Warehouse report. As the Illinois set is aligned with other state data models, you can reasonably expect this will be present in your Common Core state data set.

Listed in these data sets is personal information such as eye color, political affiliation and religion. Who is interested in your child’s data? Diane Ravitch has an article Who is Buying your Data detailing some of the private organizations having access to educational data. And here is a report from Utah (which might as well be from Missouri since we are under the same CCSS mandates) informing citizens on why data systems exist and what information they will impart to various federal agencies and private organizations:

Unknown to most parents, children’s data is being shared beyond the
school district with six agencies inside the Utah Data Alliance and
UTREX, according to Utah Technology Director John Brandt. The
student data is further being "mashed" with federal databases, according
to federal Education Dept. Chief of Staff Joanne Weiss: http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/inside-school-research/2012/07/ed_urges_states_to_make_data_s.html

http://beforeitsnews.com/tea-party/2013/02/personal-data-collected-and-disseminated-via-common-core-standards-and-p20-pipelines-2477182.html



These systems will aggregate massive amounts of personal data — health-care histories, income information, religious affiliations, voting status, and even blood types and homework-completion rates. The data will be available to a wide variety of public agencies. And despite federal student-privacy protections guaranteed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act [FERPA], the Obama administration is paving the way for private entities to buy their way into the data boondoggle. Even more alarming, the U.S.

Department of Education is encouraging a radical push from aggregate-level data-gathering to invasive individual-student-level data collection.

[Mr. H.]

Liberals may love education, but they hate children.

 

[ogibillm]

Just absolutely crazy

 

[JakeStarkey]

Clementine, you are creepy.

You must run around with tinfoil on your head.

Despite your ungrounded fears, where in your state's Common Core (you knew each state develops its own CC, right?) guidelines is this assignment given?

 

[Katzndogz]

The teacher is obviously looking for pain killers or mood elevators so she can support legalization of street drugs by claiming "everyone" takes drugs and it's unfair that only doctors can prescribe them.

 

[S.J.]

They're fishing for evidence to use against parents who complain about their children's indoctrination into communism.

 

[JakeStarkey]

S. J., I hope you are being hyperbolic; otherwise, you are truly crazy.

 

[S.J.]

S. J., I hope you are being hyperbolic; otherwise, you are truly crazy.

Now that I think about it, I'm probably wrong. They wouldn't wait until the parents complained, they would use the information as soon as they determined that the parents weren't Democrats.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Yep, you are a crazy indeed, or simply making a crazy statement.

The drunken Missouri Senator recently arrested in Ferguson proposed a bill requiring gun-owning parents to report said fact to the school Superintendent.

We know where the fuckin' libs want to go with all of this.

 

[HenryBHough]

So, Jammie boy, what's in YOUR medicine cabinet? Was it bought for you by your Obamacare?

Sounds more like the teacher might have a kid or two looking for houses to rob for drugs.

Myth: The Common Core State Standards will result in a national database of private student information.

Fact: There are no data collection requirements for states adopting the standards. Standards define expectations for what students should know and be able to do by the end of each grade. Implementing the Common Core State Standards does not require data collection. The means of assessing students and the use of the data that result from those assessments are up to the discretion of each state and are separate and unique from the Common Core. ref
