[quote=Anonymous][quote] Another nice kick in the groin of Common Core! Chicago Teachers Union adopts resolution opposing the Common Core State Standards. May 7, 2014 “I agree with educators and parents from across the country, the Common Core mandate represents an overreach of federal power into personal privacy as well as into state educational autonomy,” said CTU President Karen Lewis, a nationally board certified teacher. “Common Core eliminates creativity in the classroom and impedes collaboration. We also know that high-stakes standardized testing is designed to rank and sort our children and it contributes significantly to racial discrimination and the achievement gap among students in America’s schools.” [/quote] I disagree with the last sentence. I don't think that is the "design", although I do think it is the result, in some cases.[/quote]
