ITs time to speak out aginest common core

What is the true goal behind the people who support the common core standards ? . Proponents of common core argue that it will raise the bar and make students ready for collage but the truth is no matter how much the people who claim theses standards were transparent it does not matter because they were not . Theses standards were written in secret and written by bureaucrats and never fully tested . What proof is their that theses standards have been tested and tried other places in the world ? Do policy makers relay think theses standards are adequate and will improve the learning of children . ? Do you relay need to have several different ways to find out what is seven times nine ? Doesn’t that confuse children more? Isn’t math supposed to be more 5straightforward ? I ? Our education system is slowly being dumbed down in every way . Students don’t know how to think or read something and offer their opinion on it ?

If students were given a text from the nineteenth century would they Evan be able to inter put it or understand what they are reading? Instead we are replacing classics like Huck Fin with irs documents or federal reserve documents ? What Value do kids get out out reading a document from the most hated agency in America ? With common core elementary students will read no more than 50 % classic literature and high school students will read no more than 30 % . The worst thing about this policy is that it will discourage thinking and background knowledge and classroom discussions ? . This policy is rotting out creativity and teacher to student relationships and it will just rely on a narrow view of education . English Teacher Jeremiah Chaffee said it best when he said “ “ The lesson is two scripted and does not trust the students to direct any of their own learning and presents a narrow and shallow view of education “. He also said “ This gives students a text they have never seen and asks them to read with no preliminary introduction “. This mimics the conditions of a standardized test “ Asking questions for example the cause of the civil war also forbidden . .” Why ? Theses+ questions go outside the text , a candardial sing in common core land . How can you ask st5udents to read a historical document without first teaching students the significance of the document ? Is int teaching kids to think more important then teaching kids how to take a test ? The truth is common core is not a state run program . From the beginning it was a national mandate since the government blacmaled the states that they would cut funding for head start if they did not implement common core . Since there is no proof that theses standards work the real goal of theses standards is induructiong students into leftist ideology and teaching student to become obedient to the state . What did the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany do to get children to become obedient to the state . They seized children at a early age to teach them obedience . In Nazi Germany they taught them to have obedience to the National socialist cause and in the Soviet union they taught them to be obedient to the Bolshevik cause . In odder to do this you have to seize children at a early and take care of all the things supposed to done by parents such as feeding them breakfast and lunch . Who can possibly be against a society that gets children together to play together . Who can possibly be against a society that is concerned about the nourishment and nutrition of its youth ? . As Hillary Clinton would say it takes a village . Besides Parents need to stop their selfish notion that they own their children and give up their children to the state Bill Ayers who is a communist and domestic terrorist who is very influential with the common core standards said for himself “ Education is the motor of revolution . The revolutionary on the left have given up revolution through violent means by overthrowing the government so they have turned to a new method . A more powerful and perhaps Evan more deadly one . They have turned to the method of seizing our children at a early age to teach them how to become obedient to the state and how to hate America and the free market .

The great thing about our country is we could speak out against misguided and evil polices through writing or public speaking . . How can governors like Chris christen call himself a conservative and support a policy like this . The truth is Chris Christie is nothing but a fat corrupt slime ball that has no principles what so ever . When Chris Christ singed common core into place he sold his soul to corporate interest so the sovereignty of are children could be taken away . It is time for the public official and governors who enact-d this law to be held responsibility . They should accept resignation for being dishonest to the public about this not being a national mandate . They should accept renomination for stalling the constructional rights away from our students . It is time for public official to be continuable to the public and read bills they put into place before they enact over thousands of pages of bureaucracy . It is our duty as citizens to speak out . The freedom of the next generation is at stake.
