Ahhhhhhh....probably because they are, I don't know....uh.....educated!!!! Doh!
States and districts can add or subtract from the offered curriculums. Did your district or state do that?
We cannot subtract unless it's not essential to Common Core. If we feel a standard on Common Core is way too difficult for our students (as rabbit has pointed out), there's nothing to be done about it. The school board can't change it, the administrators can't change it..... it's taking education out of local hands.
“States can do whatever they want and always have been able to,” writes Chad Colby in an email to StateImpact. “There is no limit to what changes, additions or subtractions a state wants to make.”
Colby says as a rule of thumb, states are encouraged to add no more than 15 percent to the standards. Otherwise, he says it would negate the ““States can do whatever they want and always have been able to,” writes Chad Colby in an email to StateImpact. “There is no limit to what changes, additions or subtractions a state wants to make.”
Ahhhhhhh....probably because they are, I don't know....uh.....educated!!!! Doh!
So the OP started an anti-Common Core thread... looks like he's taking his right-wing marching orders seriously:
Fierce opposition to the standards looks like a grassroots movement, but a deeper look is revealing. In the Politico story, Stephanie Simon and Nirvi Shah write that Common Core opponents, "project an image of scrappy grassroots gumption: One rancher in Alabama said he would sell off a cow to cover the costs of an anti-Common Core town hall. But they’re backed by an array of organizations with multimillion dollar budgets of their own and much experience in mobilizing crowds and lobbying lawmakers, including The Heritage Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, the Pioneer Institute, Concerned Women for America and FreedomWorks."
Well looky here... surprise surprise surprise.
Koch brother organizations say jump and all the sudden we have conservatives jump.
Actually its no surprise.
Corporations are all part of the NWO conspiracy along with both parties.Hmmm, interesting since Common Core is being supported by corporations and many who will profit off of education.
Common Core = Hitlers/Stalin Youth....
Teach the kids their morals and faith are to the government - not their parents or to one another...

Really, what your education level? Let's compare, go ahead.
Oh please....:roll: You have in the past dismissed people including myself, for bringing up how Soros, Think Progress, Centers for American Progress, Media Matters, DailyKOS, etc are involved in stirring the pie on the liberal side, how they say jump to you and you say 'how high'?
Now you want us to take your 'boogieman' post seriously? :roll:
You do know that idea you're using came way before Hitler or Stalin, right?
Yes, because I'm not just throwing names out there. I back mine up. Unlike u guys who just scream names of people u don't really know and throw out curses of political ideologies u don't understand.
Absolutely - it's called authoritarianism/totalitarianism....
Problem is that our government is attempting to brainwash children with communist (totalitarian) nonsense....
wow nick
please show us some common core documentation which evidences such ideology is behind this move to common core standards
and if you cannot do so, shed all tin foil
Why would our government, which is thoroughly against communism, be brainwashing our children with "communist nonsense"?
Yeah right - communism is every progressives dream in the United States....
The same clowns that were defending the Vietcong (along with Mao and Pol Pot) and their communist state(s) in the 70's are now teaching kids k through college....
Furthermore, the only people that makeup our government that are against communism are non-democrats/progressives.
Progressivism was in direct response to the perceived dangers of socialism, mate.
It'd help if you actually knew what you were talking about.
No you're absolutely wrong....
Progressivism was in direct response to theocracy and monarchy - not communism..... If anything both ideas were opposite to communism or socialism....
Not to mention "communism" or "socialism" didn't have a name until Marx wrote about it and that was in the mid to late 19th century and thoroughly not embraced until the early 20th century.
High school textbook rewriting the Second Amendment distributed to hundreds of schools nationwide
How's that for starters...
According to common core our Second Amendment reads: “The people have the right to keep and bear arms in a state of militia.”
Really?
Of course progressives have absolutely no problem with such ignorance if it pushes their pathetic authoritarian agenda...
In the United States, progressivism was not in direct response to theocracy and monarchy. Yes, socialism wasn't in the American consciousness until the late 19th century. Hence why progressivism in the United States was quite aware of the lurking possibilities.
Now, again, you're wrong. CC is not communist propaganda or indoctrination. Go elsewhere with the tinfoil hat.
Everything you just said is completely wrong....
Why the hell do you think people came to the "New World"?
What do you think classical liberalism is?
What chapter of history did you ignore or just fail?
Remember the whole part about kings and queens and religious persecution?
Hell, the Magna Carta was wrote in 1215 - what was the intent of that liberal (progressive) document?
now tell us, exactly how is that second amendment text excerpt guilty of moving our youth in the direction of communism
[this should be 'good']
I'm not going to argue with you anymore on the start of Progressivism, nor will I bother to ask your own level of historical education (I'm pretty sure I do not need to).
