STOP COMMON CORE, FOR THE CHILDREN
Meanwhile, both national teachers unions support the standards, though they want more time before teachers are held ACCOUNTABLE for results.
Here is what Parents need to know before it’s too late to save their children from yet another Grand Socialist Experiment.
DOES COMMON CORE PREPARE STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE?
Not for a 4-year university. It minimally prepares students for the non-collegiate workforce or for non-selective community colleges. Jason Zimba, a key Common Core creator, said that the Common Core can prepare students for non-selective colleges but that it does not prepare students for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. He said: “I think it’s a fair critique that it’s a minimal definition of college readiness… but not for the colleges most parents aspire to… Not only not for STEM, it’s also not for selective colleges. For example, for U.C. Berkeley, whether you are going to be an engineer or not, you’d better have precalculus to get into U.C. Berkeley.” Precalculus is a course with college-level algebra and trigonometry that is designed to prepare students for the study of calculus.
IS THERE AN AMENDMENT PROCESS FOR VOTERS TO ALTER THE COMMON CORE?
No. When it changes, it will be changed by those who wrote them. You might call it Education without Representation.
ARE COMMON CORE STANDARDS LOCALLY CONTROLLED?
No. They are under copyright by an unelected, private D.C. group STOP COMMON CORE, FOR THE CHILDREN | Gene McVay On Guard:
