In the battle between homeschooling and Common Core, the homeschoolers are winning but CC advocates keep trying to change the score.

Don’t ask my wife about CC — you’ll get an earful. She is a para at a local elementary school and has been testing for two weeks and testing will continue through the end of the month. Our wonderful state of Colorado has adopted CC.

I applaud these intelligent people opting out of absurd bullshit.

I personally believe the only way this country will endure is to get future generations out of the public “indoctrination” which passes for ‘education’ these days. Home schooling is the way to do it.

It is important that we immediately eliminate all funding from the Feds (and, ideally, from the states as well) which goes to colleges; this way, AP exams/ACT/SAT/etc. exams which choose to be influenced by Communist Core would find themselves failing in the free market of ideas.

Around here, there seem to be four factors that are turning parents to parochial schools or homeschooling:

1. Outrageous leniency about discipline

2. School closing which transferred students from a local school to schools miles away.

3. Common Core

I am a big fan of optional standardized tests. As a homeschooling parent I use standardized tests as much as possible.

Mr. William Estrada has obviously never tried to teach CC to a homeschool kid, or at all.

My wife tried to help our grandson with the CC curriculum and gave up. My daughter withdrew him from public school and is homeschooling him with the old tried and true methods, and he is flourishing!

send CC back to the pit it came from...
