Common Core Curriculum: new federal standards for the post-modern classroom (it ain't pretty)




More info here.

Common Core proponents offer upbeat descriptions of utopian educational goals along with detailed practical lists of what students should know and be able to do in grades K–12 in mathematics and English language arts. But those goals and standards are just two facets of the conglomeration of federal funding, preschool–workforce invasive student tracking, and one-size-fits-all computer-based learning that has become the Common Core.Years of federal spending have proven that centralized education does not work. The only way to give students a better education is to return control to parents and local schools!
