How could anyone read the Gettysburg Address without emotion?
Whether someone sees Lincoln as a scoundrel or hero, Lincoln knew how to put a pen to paper — and create a powerful message.
dumb the all down and bore them all silly
and kids don’t grow up hating to read enough as it is?
The purpose of Common Core is to destroy a child’s ability to learn.
Destroy it.
“Informational texts” = Marxist propaganda...
I don’t know if Winston Smith and his people can keep up with future demand.
Those in the younger generation are addicted to the early stages of information gathering, and the powers that be in this country now are trying their darnedest to focus kids merely on this:
Data/information is king, easy to acquire at a young age through the internet and other media. The ability of young people to look critically at the validity and meaning of information is quite limited, and not taught by most teachers.
Knowledge is a bit more of a challenge, beyond many, and not worth the effort for others. It is easily replaced for many students by school sponsored indoctrination, and through other venues of cultural propaganda.
Wisdom is far beyond the capability of most, but a proper education can foster at least a little bit in even the most concrete and rudimentary minds, and can instill in the young a yearning and knowledge base that can lead to the acquisition of more as life proceeds. The acquisition of the sort of wisdom that led to the founding of this country, and ultimately to its greatness, is anathema to those who seek to destroy this country’s greatness and its freedom through Common Core and other such crap.
Oh, that’s ok, it ONLY affects those OTHER children. My children are SPECIAL because they go to a SPECIAL public school, perhaps the only one in the nation, that teaches Common Core differently and much better. How do I know that? Why because the teachers and the principal told me so. Nothing to worry about, at least for my kids.
(how FReepers rationalize keeping their kids in those schools, DESPITE everything they read here)
Nothing guarantees love of reading like a month long romp through the Federal Register!

Common Core: twelve years of newspeak.
