Chula Vista parents protest switch to Common Core State Standards
What we have been finding is that the parents doing the research on Common Core know more than the local boards and administrators. For instance in this article: ***"Millican also said that the Common Core State Standards “were put together by business leaders, university professors, educators” and that the shift in education will be from “drill and kill to critical thinking.” He avers that this latest educational reform will be “more about the learning and less about the test score.”*** These statements are both false. The standards were put together by trade associations in Washington DC primarily funded by the Federal Dept of Ed., Bill Gates and other large corporations hiding behind their non profit masks. The reform is all about the assessment (Common Core's form of testing) linking teacher's evaluations and pay to the results of the assessments aligned with the standards - The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. Be armed with the facts and the hard evidence to support the facts when addressing your boards and administrators. Fight On!!!!— September 19, 2013 12:20 p.m.
