Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Common Core

I had a nice chat with a school board member here about CC and it backed up what Ranger1 said completely. And I am 2 states away from him.

Those math and sentence examples make his point a EXACTLY. They are not mandated under CC, unless you can find some evidence as such. Also, there is a flip side to the argument that a good school district does not make CC a good thing and that is a few liberal jackass school districts do not make CC a bad thing.

CC is not about individual school districts or how they "implement". Yes, the concerned static is rising because local folks are starting to really look into examples and some implications - this is good.

But, many of us don't grasp why and how CC is the most recent component in a larger progression - and the wide-angle picture of that progression is frightening. How many among us actually know the current processes/outcomes in most public schools - not merely the school we think we know - but the whole?

I cannot help but wonder how much - collectively - we care about the eventual educational level of a large percentage of our populace - and particularly regarding the abilty to think critically, for oneself.
