In the last year there have been a lot of conservative rumblings against the new progressive education agenda called Common Core.

Bush and his “no child left behind” was worse. Barf! He definitely lost his conservative cred over that one. Just the name alone makes me want to heave.

Thanks for posting that chart. That’s more than ample proof that folks today should be home schooling or enrolling their kids in a quality private school.
Public schools have become nothing more than indoctrination centers for the Fed Gov.
In thirty years we’ll still need smart people to lead this nation. God help us if the public schooled kids of today are in charge.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.

Public education, for the convenience of TEACHERS, has leap-frogged absolutely everything that is necessary for understanding and real knowledge!
