Thank God somebody gets it. Common Core is just a set of standards that need to be met. How is that a bad thing especially in Louisiana?


Way too much variances allowed. It was presented as Math and Language only. But school districts are using it to sneak in things like the holocaust thing in California under critical thinking. What's to prevent that from happening again. And before you start the superabundant of schools knew of it and said there were no complaints. Which turned out to be a big lie.

So whats the rush again?

UPDATE
Lawsuit filed against Jindal by parents, teachers and a charter school

Added this in first post, but might be useful here too.

Variances? I thought individual local control was a good thing. The local district controls its own curriculum. What's to prevent your school district from using the Holocaust discussion in a high school class now? In theory, nothing. In reality, they know the parents will drop the hammer on them. And should. But that Holocaust exercise had exactly zero to do with Common Core. It would have happened there with Common Core or without it. If you want to prevent things like that from happening, stay involved in your local school district.
