the truth about common core

The truth about common core .

What is the true goal behind the people who are putting common core in place ? John Dewy a nitheen century thinker

said children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which happens when everyone is independent . The common core advocates don’t care about children being able to think independently but instead they want to teach them how to think . 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 they are 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 theses math standards make sense ? Do you relay need to several different ways to find out what 3 times 3 is ? Dosent that confuse children more? Isn’t math supposed to be more straightforward ?

? 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 ? Before it was mandatory to go to high school and students only went to high school till eight grade .I has been proven that the majority of teenagers today would not be able to pass a exam taken back then . The truth is would the majority of high school students Evan understand a classical nineteenth centenary like Huck fin if they read it today

The terrible thing about common core is that it is gradually taking out classic

and repricing it with informational text . IS it relay

a good use of time for students to read Presidential executive orders? 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 background knowledge and classroom discussions ? What if a student knew a lot about a historical document like the Gettysburg Address .. 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 students 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 blackmailed 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 indoctrination

into leftist ideology and teaching student to become obedient to the state . Radical revolutionary Marxist like Bill ayes are behind a lot of theses standards and have written a lot of theses standards . Their is no escape from common core because Evan home schooners and private schooners will have to comply with the state testing data system which will give the government and corporations the right to monitor private information about our children so they could

could determine what occupation is best for them . Today is independence day . It is day we celebrate our freedom and the expectational nation we are and the solders who died for out country . Unfortunately if

we don’t stay infromed our liberties and freedoms and constitutional rights will be know more . In my opinion this policy is the most important issue of our day because this policy is about control . Its about con tooling and brainwashing a whole generation of children

to become obi dent to the socialist cause . What did the Nazis do in getting the youth to respect the National socialite state . They got the kids together and taught them to be obidenti to the state . The Nazis had the same attitude that progressives in this country have which is that chidlreen belong to all of us . Why is it that the public school system has taken over the responsibility of feeding children breakfast and lunch ? This is all part of the plot to replace the state as the child’s guradrain . It Takes a village ! Who needs a traditional family when the school stem could feed you breakfast and lunch ?
