  How do you feel about Common Core education?

  by nonjwspouse in

  1. social
  2. current

  especially if you are a teacher, how did you learn about it to begin with?

  was there a common core rep doing a slick presentation?.

  how do those of you with kids on school feel about, among others, things such as the deemphasis on the great works of literature ?.

  Ohh I have found it. Looks like that lesson is from 2007. And again, it is up to the district to adopt these materials.

  I am most intereseted in the goal of 10th grade level. I can't find anything about that. Please help.

  So I have a question. You are aware, that all of these specific materials have nothing to do with Common Core? It is up to each individual state and or district to choose the materials they will use?

  Again you are making statements with zero backup. Please provide support to your claims.

  Did you know that Baptists in Texas perform human sacrifice in their churches?

  I still can't see where any of this is the horror that you propose. As I said, there will always being differences of opinion on the best way to achieve any goal. But this chicken little hysteria is just silly.

  Were you so concerned when they rolled out No Child Left Behind?

  You present arguments, but you don't back them up with evidence. May I ask where you first heard of Common Core?

  The man behind the common core stated they goal was a 10th grade education for all children. Not a 12 year education. This is a step backwards, not forwads. it is reducing standards not increasing them.

  Please provide a source for this.

  And this

  But the overall objective of this is about the federal government, and centeralized control over the education.

  Since leaving the truth, do you celebrate holidays, and does your participation in such bring you happiness?

  i ask this respectfully, and do so after watching a favorite show of mine's season opener which had a new years storyline.

  hollywood tends to make movies and television show episodes centered around holiday themes appear warm and blissful.

  while i'm thankful to have never participated in such holidays, i can't deny my curiosity about ex-jws that do celebrate.
