  1. Basically a batch of lies and distortions. Some people are calling the
    common core standards poison. The “poison” being fed our children in the
    public schools is the status quo. People really should go find out for
    themselves what the Common Core Standards are instead of only listening to
    people lying against the Common Core standards. These people all have
    ulterior motives for what they are saying.
    Colleges and employers have been telling us for years that our schools are
    turning out too many students who aren’t ready for college or employment.
    The primary reason for this is refusal of school districts to identify and
    fire or retrain poorly performing teachers, frequently because of political
    and monetary motives. We have a very mobile population so the failures of
    one school district can move practically anywhere and become somebody
    else’s problem. If the k-12 establishment, who are the only people being
    paid here, had done what was right instead of what was easy and/or
    profitable for them we wouldn’t be having this discussion. I’ve taught
    and all levels k-college, worked with kids, and hired kids from ages 14-24
    as a private employer, and our schools are screwing up. I’ve seen many kids
    move from a crappy school district, where they were doing terribly to a
    good district where they thrived, so the problem isn’t primarily the
    students and families, it’s the schools. We can’t just sit back and let the
    k-12 establishment continue to screw up regardless of whether it’s at the
    local, state, or national level.
    And to you Tea Party types. You’re siding with the teachers unions? Even
    though I have always thought that you were misguided I always had some
    respect for you because I thought you were on the side of Freedom and the
    little guy against the powerful. But on this issue you are siding with the
    powerful Teachers Unions and powerful but crooked politicians on the state
    and local level (including school boards.) These people are all just as
    likely to violate our freedoms as the federal government, in fact more so.
    They have a vested interest in keepings the way they now in our public
    schools. Go look at what’s going on in the most expensive private schools.
    They and most home school curriculums have been in effect teach to the
    Common Core Standards for years. I don’t really trust the federal
    government either, but I trust them more than I trust these powerful and
    crooked Teachers Unions, powerful and crooked local and state governments,
    and powerful and crooked school boards. 

  2. Was just wondering can you post a link to were we can read this on our own?
    would like to have a copy of this for my use. Thank you.

  3. Consistent. The people who promote Common Core all agree that it’s
    consistent. Education will be the same standards for every child across the
    whole of the country. And that’s good right? We like stability, we love
    calm uniform unity. We don’t care if our Big Macs are dry and our fries
    greasy as long as they taste no worse than the last one we had. We don’t
    mind the inevitable stomach ache, because it was such a good IDEA. And so
    we’ll eat greasy fast food again and again, getting a little sicker each
    time, because it sounds like such a good idea. But what do you know- one
    day we just may die of it. And chances are there will be no one left to
    morn us because it was our choice. Our consistent choice.

    Consistency and conformity is just what truly great educators like Sir Ken
    Robinson has been trying to warn us away from. Consistent standards don’t
    work in practice because we are humans, a race which by nature is never
    uniform, nor does it thrive in a rigid atmosphere. We are organic forms and
    therefore need an education form just as organic as we are. The system
    should conform to the people, not the people to the system.

  4. Complete garbage. If you’re a teacher, you oughtta either quit your job or
    protest. Stand up to this shit. Don’t take part in this drugging of our
    youth!!! They are our future!

  5. Socrates… You are correct about the teacher’s unions but CC is not a
    solution to that. Most good schools do something close to common core? You
    may need to do more fact checking on that ridiculous comment. Fact do
    matter to you a little don’t they? 

  6. You can do something to stop Common Core. Write, email and phone your
    governor, your assembly and senate state representative. You can tell them
    that you the voter are opposed to Common Core – not a slow down – not a
    moratorium – REMOVE common core. Help educate others. You have a voice at
    your school. Use it! Be persistant. Join a local group and nationwide group
    to STOP COMMON CORE.

  7. You can’t do this. It’s indoctrination and doesn’t prepare people for the
    real world. It teaches people to punch a time card. It also limits teachers
    ability to teach. This is what you teach and how you teach it, and people
    wonder why some teachers appear burnt out. Look up every other country that
    ranks higher in education. None of them have these standards. It’s not
    smart at all, people teach your kids critical thinking skills that will
    help them, because that’s what our public education lacks.

  8. You are awesome for being vigilant! Thank you for investing the time you
    have and the time you will no doubt continue to invest. I recently
    graduated from high school, and I barely made it out alive as is, many of
    my former fellow students now Borg resembling drones were bad enough! This
    will through a price tag on each one and a briefcase with a psychological
    profile inside, Complete with self illustrated manipulation tactics! Good
    to know I’m not alone in the fight against insanity.

  9. I was watching a math lesson and I could not figure out what the hell the
    woman was teaching. I could hear her and understand what she was saying but
    it all hot air. There was no math to it. I guess the kids were 2nd graders.
    Whats the deal with the 2+2=5? Is that another one of those screwed up math
    lessons that I was watching. This kind of teaching of crap can not be
    tolerated.
