Maybe one day there will be a law nationwide that forces all parents to be certified in teaching what will all of you do then? If all children are taught differently then chaos will be, my advice is parents need to stop complaining and get busy with teachers and go to the Board of Education until they listen or is that too much for a parent and teacher to do on a daily basis? People can NOT judge all schools based on a few and until someone has evaluated all schools nationwide why are all you people so ANTI-PUBLIC SCHOOLS?

Since that control is now moving to the higher level schools it is no wonder that the Feds have pulled out from annually funding Head Start when they tracked these Head Start children once they began elementary schools and found there was no significant continuation of what they were forced to learn while in Head Start schools across the nation. <br />Parents home school if you are able. Don't let your child become socialized by the Common Core education.

Second,as a requirement of applying for RTTT grant money, states had to agree to share student data on their longitudinal databases. Shared data is not secure data. And the third concern is the cost of the technology required to fully implement this system. Well, I also have a problem with the Department of Education itself. It is only behind the DOD and DHHS departments in total cost, yet since its formation in 1979 the education of our students has only declined.

We live in a county with a wonderful, Godly man as our county superintendent. I know that his hands were tied when the state started pushing this here in Alabama. I feel so bad for teachers & for the students. I am so surprised to learn, however, that there are some teachers who actually support it though! A man from our church works as an IT guy for our county school system. He has great concerns over some of the content that is being "slipped" in to Core Curriculum. He feels that it is very socialistic in nature & there is great potential for great problems down the road, as the result of it.L.

But I too, fear the WAY CCSS is being implemented nationwide and district wide; maybe a good idea but of course Pearson et al just make big bucks on it while the teachers and students struggle. It is insane to hold teachers 100% accountable for student results, with factors beyond our control as mentioned here.Andrea Fuenteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03752318189691582635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907677492250052991.post-8939348293054842862013-08-11T16:23:12.878-05:002013-08-11T16:23:12.878-05:00There is no "maybe" about this!
