Thanks for posting this article.  It is truly appalling.  Incredible that the leaders  -- including Bill Gates -- who are foisting this mess on the public would never accept that such standards and such sub-par curriculum and assessment tools for their own children.  What a waste of public money.  After this article appeared, the Gates Foundation announced that teachers should not be hld accountable for results of Core testing this year.  So the article must have had some truth to it; it struck a nerve.  [b]Problem is that STUDENTS ate being held accountable for this FAIL, because results will appear on their academic records[/b].[/quote]

Where and how?

Also, do you think that Arne Duncan should have told his children, "I'm sorry, kids, but since I don't want people to call me a hypocrite, you're going to have to change schools, because we have to move to Maryland, because Virginia didn't adopt the Common Core standards."?[/quote]

Well, I don't think anyone would expect Secretary Duncan to move his children to a common core jurisdiction.  This wild experiment is not going well, and we know he wants the best for his children, as we all do.[/quote]

That's some pretty contorted reasoning you got going on there.   Don't twist your brain into knots there, Sparky.[/quote]
