It’s a coordinated effort from the Chambers of Commerce and businesses to tout the reason we need Common Core NOW.  While our students become trained in the “critical thinking skills” students weren’t getting from their teachers who apparently couldn’t figure out how to teach without CCSS scripts, we will now outsource and ask immigrants to provide the STEM human capital for those businesses until Americans can develop the “high skills” needed for these jobs.  If you read Minnich’s statement above, you would think CCSSO will be a valuable partner in solving the STEM problem we’ve been told is plaguing businesses.  However, the problem that may be plaguing business is not a shortage of workers, it may be that businesses are able to find overseas workers who will work cheaper for the same work.   Read this from  This IT worker had to train an H-1B replacement:Is the Need for Common Core STEM Education Based on Lies? | Missouri Education Watchdog:
