[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You should not be teaching if you feel this is a good assignment in any way, shape or form. You would not DARE to write an assignment asking if slavery was a hoax.

Did anyone else notice that the acting superintendent of that county had a Muslim name?[/quote]

Yes. That is the real story. As I said, Common Core allows for this kind of interpretation. By design[/quote]

So do you want that local control or not?  You can't have it both ways hon.

Well, apparently local control over curriculum is fine, except if that control is by a guy with a Muslim name.[/quote]

What fail to understand is that local control stopped this in its tracks. If this was approved federally, there would be nothing you could do, and trying would take years. On a state level, that time limit drops, but not by much. [/quote]

What fail to understand is that local control STARTED this problem, too.   Which is how it is supposed to work.   What fail to understand is local control IS over curriculum.

Local school control over curriculum.  Local school chooses books, topics, etc.

Common Core State Standards are simply for the standards  (Write argumentative essay, good grammar and punctuation, support with references to text, etc.)

Now, if you are upset that local control is allowing bad books to be selected as the curriculum, you sound like you have no faith in local control over schools.   If so, there's a big problem, because local control is also what you are arguing FOR.   How can you argue both for and against local control?

As long as the states claim it's common core, there is a big issue. Where it lies?  Who knows[/quote]
