Yes, pitch in on the effort to abolish standards and testing so that we can go back to PRETENDING and LYING that everything is just fine with our educational system.

"'Murka: We're Number One In The World!" just like some North Korean propaganda...

I think I'm done here.  Clearly, our Common Core supporter has totally lost it.  Sad that we cannot have a discussion about this.  I, for one, have given blood, sweat, and tears to children at the bottom of the gap.  It is really sad that people think pouring money into Common Core and Pearson is going to help.  All that money could have been put to much better use.  My suggestion would be to start with some type of program to help poor parents with new babies become educated about how to help their kids prior to Head Start, etc.  Instead, we are lining the pockets of the publishers and consortiums.

Again, nothing but yet another deflection and the same stale old things that have already been addressed many times over.  The issues of low-income parenting is a totally separate and different one that was never and has never been tied programmatically to academic standards or testing let alone funding for those, whether Common Core or EVER prior to that.

You talk about "ALL THAT MONEY" yet it was already shown that, averaged out per school district, "ALL THAT MONEY" would only amount to a one-time infusion of around $6,000 dollars per district.  Sorry, but you are quite thoroughly delusional if you even remotely think that would have been enough money to do anything meaningful with Head Start or programs for poor parents.

Yes, you are done here, because you are out of material, you clearly are not thinking any of this stuff through, and your arguments go nowhere.[/quote]
