I noticed the only supporters of Common Core were teachers, teacher associations, and educational associations that would benefit from federal funds.
Thank you for posting this story and please post more stories about Common Core in other states.
re: “I noticed the only supporters of Common Core were teachers, teacher associations, and educational associations that would benefit from federal funds.”
I agree with you about teacher unions and higher district personnel, but many teachers are opposed to this as well. Maybe not for the right reasons, but many do see the monolithic nature of this disaster. There is resistance going on behind the scenes.
The high level district people will trot out a few teachers who will speak in favor of this, but often these are people who either aren’t really in the classroom, or are “movin’ up” in the hierarchy and don’t want to make waves.
At least where I am I see and hear resistance. Can’t say if it’s widespread across the country.
This Core curriculum stinks through and through.
