A rather expensive development has surfaced on the way to installing Common Core in California’s hundreds of school districts statewide. Officials have figured out that the big government initiative could collectively cost districts $1 billion every year to set up a new statewide testing system supporting the new curriculum.
The question is, who’s going to pay for it? According to the Santa Ana School District, the state, not the district, should foot the bill. Santa Ana along with three other school districts submitted a class action complaint, demanding that California pay for the “next generation” Smarter Balanced Assessments based on national Common Core standards.
The Orange County Register reported that the Santa Ana Unified school district, which consists of 57,000 students, projects $12 million in district costs pertaining to the Common Core tests, which includes $8.1 million for devices, $3.3 million for bandwidth and infrastructure, plus other significant outlays for accessories and training.

Nope.
Though it seems that you missed the punchline
of my joke:
But yeah, everyone agrees on the uselessness of bureaucrats. ;)
Um, the second line of my post:Jesus could do, and he taught as well.
Your post makes no sense as Jesus covered all of it.
If we're talking paying for sin, yes.
If we're talking about the progression of do to bureaucrat, no… we have no writings of Jesus himself (therefore journalist is out), and He isn't a bureaucrat.
The point of my post was mostly a joke: But yeah, everyone agrees on the uselessness of bureaucrats. ;)
The smaller point was a counterpoint to the first two elements in the progression: Jesus did and taught; the disciples taught and recorded (reporting/testifying, which could be construed as journalisting
).
Ayers himself may not have developed Common Core. But he inspired it.
For a decade or two, Ayers was considered the high chief guru of secondary school curriculum development in the USA. And he was the inspiration for many who actually developed Common Core.
Yep - you should see what some math is about ...
I thought those who can’t teach, teach gym?
Wait if I cannot multiply 3x9 how am I supposed to know what the square root of 81 is?
They tried to destroy math in the 1960’s, the mean to finish it now.
“In the example I was wondering where the 81 came from.”
Me, too. If that’s an actual example of how they require the problem “3x9=?” to be solved, they should be shot. There is no way a normal child should be required to jump through that many mental hoops to answer such a simple problem.
The goal might actually be to destroy a child’s ability to learn, as Talisker said.
Probably 3/4 of that bill can be attributed to illegals
> That’s not real, is it?
The real (hidden) objective is to learn how to think the way they want you to. No thinking for yourself. Your overlords will teach you how to think...and be subservient.
That can’t be right. Using that method, 3 * 6 equals 3 divided into 6-squared or 36 which results in 12 rather than 18.
Why do you hate the children?
If the goal of CC is dumb down this and every generation to follow; I think it’s working.
Sounds like an official Communist communique.
Right. But why introduce the square of nine when it’s not needed?
It’s CC - what can I say??
You should watch the Youtube on that ...
Bingo!
Since my original post had nothing to do with Christ, obviously you were joking and mocking Him by injecting Him into your “joke”.
Good to know...you, slimeball.
