I understand that in this political climate its hard to get good ideas pushed through without people putting huge political biases and ruining good ideas. <br /><br />I am however in favor of a common baseline set of standards that everyone in America has when they graduate high school. <br /><br />However, what I am trying to point out here is the debate. The people who signed this letter are not interested in improving educations or tweeks to Coomon core or what we can do differently. <br /><br />The people who signed this letter have one objection. "O MY GOD, the black socialist Kenyan president endorsed it...quick abandon ship"/ <br /><br />My point is also if the Governor listens to these loons then he is even worse than I thought. <br /><br />I am all for, and we must, have the discussion as to how we improve and where we tweek CCSS but these people bring nothing to the debate.

The standards aren't the problem. It is what is left out of the standards. Also, it is the assessment tools used to determine if our kids are proficient in the standards that have parent in NY and Mass. opting out of the testing. The curriculum built by the multimillion dollar companies have ruined the movement of common standards. Look at Engage NY and you will be against what the common core is expecting of kids too.Teach Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093832035259768783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-29053123086326598942013-11-29T18:27:38.869-06:002013-11-29T18:27:38.869-06:00The hard right wingnuts are pushing Walker to oppo...The hard right wingnuts are pushing Walker to oppose basic math and basic English standards that 40 plus states have adopted. The National Governor's Association supports Common Core Standards. Scott Walker will stammer on this one because he stands to gain financially or politically by doing so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-23258498033184541382013-11-29T10:47:19.192-06:002013-11-29T10:47:19.192-06:00It's simply amazing how this group that thinks...It's simply amazing how this group that thinks they know everything about everything and really know nothing about anything can get their party with their majority to bow down and say:" Yes Master!" EDUCATION SHOULD BE LEFT TO THOSE WHO ARE PROFESSIONALS AND THOSE WHO WORK IN THE FIELD.... BUT THEY'VE ALREADY DESTROYED TEACHERS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS SO IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT THEY WILL NOW CALL THE SHOTS. After all that's what they pay their legislators to do.....do their bidding!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
