Education Reformers Pouting and Running Away? They Better Start Running.

Look! It’s Common Core proponents running away from an anti-Common Core Momma Bear! She has a very determined look and body language.  From National Geographic pic.twitter.com/R6meY5iL2F

A mother’s metamorphosis into a Momma Bear as she fights Common Core:

Do you know what I can’t stand?! The fact that I have to be a thorn in everyone’s side around here. I gave our new school board member over 24 hours to revel in his win. I just now sent him a text asking for his email to send him information concerning Common Core. His wife is a public school teacher. I feel like I need to apologize, and I did, because just like last year when another new member was elected, I started with her the next morning. She has since deleted me as a “friend” on Facebook.  I can’t stand that the powers that be are forcing me to alienate myself from a small town.  I can’t stand that I have had to broaden my shoulders to take the “duck and runs” from people in the school (it has, however, made me stronger which I do appreciate). I can’t stand that my husband is catching flack because of my extremely vocal stance. My name has literally become synonymous with Common Core. I have people tagging me in articles and Private Messaging me information because they themselves don’t want to get overly involved. If it weren’t for our son getting ready to enter kindergarten, where our teachers are singing Common Core praises, I would bury my head, but I feel deep in my heart this is my calling. If I don’t do this, I WILL answer to my God and Creator. This goes against everything I have ever been. I am not confrontational, I am not brave, most of the time when I am debating anyone I am shaking ferociously, freezing, but at the same time sweating profusely.



These Momma Bears who have discovered an inner strength are putting a serious dent in the education reform plans of the elites.  Did you know mothers are to blame for the testing chaos Education Reformers Pouting and Running Away? They Better Start Running. | Missouri Education Watchdog:
