Thanks to Marion Brady, we have an inside look at the horror called "Common Core":
So why are my kids in school? Because it's illegal to protect them from it.
If you have any contact with a truancy officer and can get him to agree to look the other way when he discovers parents who are protecting their kids from school, please let me know. Such civil disobedience is the mark of true heroes.
I wonder if anyone else is worried about "Common Core". I've looked at Education Policy Advisor Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt's work and multiple Teacher of the Year Award winner John Taylor Gatto's work, and it shows that an effort like Common Core is often designed to cause problems rather than solve them.
My kids' school is participating in a program designed to prevent the creative and disruptive thought that advances the goals of our species and replace it with predictable responses. It is also designed to replace civil disobedience borne from the healthy conscience of an active mind with plain obedience. It is designed to create adults who will follow orders regardless of their moral implications.
