Missouri Education Watchdog: Teacher Says "I QUIT": The (Un) or Intended Consequences of Common Core?

Missouri Education Watchdog: Teacher Says "I QUIT": The (Un) or Intended Consequences of Common Core?:


Teacher Says "I QUIT": The (Un) or Intended Consequences of Common Core?

One more bullet point: Ask school administration how much Common Core mandates had to do with the resignation. Explain that to a small child: a "one sized fits all" education is good enough for her.



Parents, when you go to conferences, take a copy of a teacher's (Kris Nielsen) letter below and ask your child's teacher and administrators their thoughts on what this teacher has written.  Ask: 
  • how common core has affected their teaching and district autonomy
  • how a top down centralized "one size fits all" program actually "fits" all the students they teach
