ATTN: local Elementary Superintendent
Where the hell is the money coming for this latest educational nightmare?
www.huffingtonpost.com/diane-ravitch/common-core-testing_b_5555995.html
Why did a bankrupt state like Illinois sign up for this $hit and why did both major teacher unions bend over for it's implementation?
I'll quote Vince Lombardi: "What the hell is going on out there!?

I sound like a scratched cd but I feel like this is just another verse of the same tired song. Big business is able to "influence" law makers & we the people are totally overlooked by our elected officials, because the officials are all certain that we the people are too inadequate to understand our real needs & what direction we want our lives & the future of our children to follow.

The money will come from the Ed fund. It will pull money away from somewhere it is needed more. Just another unfunded mandate.

www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2014/07/22/educator-the-many-reasons-i-am-ashamed-to-be-part-of-the-system/
There are articles out there saying that 70+% of teachers say that they believe in and support the CCSS initiatives. Bull$hit, I have to believe that if THAT is true, teachers are afraid to speak up or simply ignorant of what the CCSS really is...another political solution to an educational system struggling to cope with kids coming from socially and culturally bankrupt home lives.

The old fashion way of teaching was just fine. You end up with the same answers. .

The old fashion way of teaching was just fine. You end up with the same answers. . Of course it was/is. This Common Core Crap is about to careen out of control inside our nation's classrooms. Parents, teachers, and concerned citizens need to become more informed about this debacle. You have an example here of how sheeple will accept authoritarian precepts and rule without investigating the truth and asking whether or not such a massive change is necessary or warranted.
My position about the problems in our schools rests on on the ugly facts concerning the disintegration of the family, the incursion of political correctness into the classroom, poverty, apathy from both children and their adult caregivers, almost complete lack of leadership talent in most administrative positions, and the increasing and startlingly negative impact the lack of funding for schools is having on our educational landscape.
The crazies have stepped in with The Big Fix...Common Core State Standards. We need to hurl them back like the farmers and merchants on Bunker Hill threw back the Redcoats a couple of hundred years ago...against all odds.

The words to the Mike and the mechanics song "Silent Running" come to mind........... There is an underground current running right now. Not for nuthin', Sniper...do the American people realize that at least Obamacare was vetted by both the House and the Senate...while the complete overhaul and nationalization of our education system was voted on by NO legislative body whatsoever? What I just wrote is true. Does this sound like a familiar theme with this Leftist administration?
Obama's Race to the Top educational stimulus package in 2009 could only be obtained by signing on to the frigging Common Core Standards...before they were even finished being written!!!
Most states signed on because the content of the standards was as yet unknown and our states were strapped for cash. THAT'S BLACKMAIL and "bait and switch."
Money talks.
