Common Core is an experiment.

Spellbinding Words of Wisdom – Hoosiers Against Common Core
To see what a truly well-educated person sounds like, please take the time to watch the spellbinding testimony below of retired teacher, Bonnie Fisher, who testified before the Indiana Legislative Study Committee at the September 10th hearing. Ms. Fisher’s experience in education is varied and extends far beyond that of the K-12 classroom, including extensive reviews of over 800 textbooks from both today and decades gone by. Her eloquence and command of the English language is truly breathtaking and will leave you in awe of her.

Computer grading will destroy our schools
The deepest reason to get rid of automated essay grading is not that the statistical correlations aren’t good enough yet (this is fixable) or that one can cleverly trick the computer (this is true, but not the root issue). The reason to get rid of automated essay grading is that the whole point of doing something like writing an essay is to learn to engage on a level that machines cannot participate in or really appreciate
False Alarm
Ginning up alarm may be lucrative business, but education policy requires a more mature discourse.
Regulatory amendments released in 2011 by the Education Department effectively tear down these protections and shift the responsibility of determining who has access to student data from parents to bureaucrats and administrators. Under the regulations, schools, districts and states have the ability to designate “authorized representatives” that can receive personally identifiable information without consent if they are deemed to have a “legitimate interest.” Data can now be shared with trade unions, non-educational government agencies, and private companies developing educational products and services. The Education Department even acknowledges that nothing in the regulations prohibit a state politician or private company from being designated.

What do Kansans think about Common Core? We want to hear from you!
Please read these statements and personal stories from parents, grandparents, teachers, and other Kansans
I think every public official, who bears any responsibility for foisting this amoral, unconstitutional, Godless, dumbed down and Islamic/Sharia-Law friendly curriculum on Americans, should be prosecuted and imprisoned for treason!
Common Core was developed by America’s enemies, be they agent’s of foreign governments or domestic treasonous seditionists, or just very stupid people, to turn America’s children into United Nation’s Agenda 21 drones who’ll be void of any sense of national identity or Biblically based morality.
In other words, I’m animatedly opposed to Common Core!
