Picture Picture KEEP YOUR CHILDREN HOME! HAVE A FAMILY DAY! This event is part of a national protest against the Common Core State Standards and it will take place in every state across this great country! The eighteenth of November is significant to our movement, not only because this is the first day of American Education Week, but it is also Revolution Day!! Organizers are encouraging parents, students, teachers, and others to join the cause… Please participate in this event and encourage everyone you know to do the same! We recommend that you keep your children out of school on November 18th and help us send a message to the federal government. We the people want evidence-based curriculum that is locally controlled and which does not require data mining our children. Instead of sending your children to school on November 18th, get your children out in public and raise awareness by educating others on the fight against the Common Core State Standards!!!

NY State Senate Standing Committee on Education Public Hearing! It is impossible, unnecessary, and harmful for a small group of individuals to predetermine and impose upon all students the same set of knowledge and skills and expect all students progress at the same pace (if the students don’t, it is the teachers’ and schools’ fault). I am not against standards per se for good standards can serve as a useful guide. What I am against is Common and Core, that is, the same standards for all students and a few subjects (currently math and English language arts) as the core of all children’s education diet. I might even love the Common Core if they were not common or core. by Yong Zhao If you or someone in your Tea Party group, RNC Executive Committees or any other groups you might belong to receive communication in the form of an e-mail or phone call from either of the Jeb Bush Foundations or any member of his family or staff in regard to the Common Core Standards, please let us know at [email protected] and your information will be kept private. *** IMPORTANT INFORMATION *** PARENTS! DO YOU BELIEVE SHE IS TELLING YOU YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOURS AND TO PRESERVE PARENTAL RIGHTS OR IS SHE SAYING YOUR CHILDREN BELONG TO THE COLLECTIVE - THE GOVERNMENT? Button Text THE REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE OF THE BROADER BOLDER APPROACH TO THE EDUCATION CAMPAIGN SUMMARY: A Broader, Bolder Approach to Education (BBA) should combine school improvement with improvements in the conditions with which children come to school, including their early childhood care and education, health, and out-of-school time. Schools should be held accountable for spurring the broad range of knowledge and skills that students need to be successful. However, test scores alone cannot describe a school’s contribution to the full range of student outcomes. BBA proposes new accountability systems that combine appropriate qualitative and quantitative methods. THE ROAD TO A NATIONAL CURRICULUM: The Legal Aspects of the Common Core Standards/Curriculum, Race To The Top, and Conditional Waivers! The Legal Aspects of the Common Core Standards, Race to the Top, and Conditional Waivers Author(s): Robert S. Eitel and Kent D. Talbert, with contributions by Williamson Evers — Publication date: 2012-02-09 Category: Education Abstract: Unfortunately, in three short years, the present Administration has placed the nation on the road to a national curriculum. By leveraging funds through its Race to the Top Fund and the Race to the Top Assessment Program, the Department has accelerated the implementation of common standards in English language arts and mathematics and the development of common assessments based on those standards. By PARCC’s and SBAC’s admission, these standards and assessments will create content for state K-12 curriculum and instructional materials. The Department has simply paid others to do that which it is forbidden to do. This tactic should not inoculate the Department against the curriculum prohibitions imposed by Congress.

Picture Picture Picture Picture Picture wethepeoplebracelet Picture Picture SPREADING THE WORD IS VITAL! Picture COMMON CORE TRAIN TO INDOCTRINATION! Every person in America has a vital interest in stopping Common Core, a top-down, one-size-fits-all government takeover of our education system. Instead of teaching critical thinking and problem solving, Common Core stresses the lowest common denominator, punishes achievement, and forces all students to conform to government standards. Our future depends on the next generation being able to solve the serious problems we face, and substandard government-run education will only make things worse. As if thats not enough, Common Core creates a data-mining program to track every child from pre-school on. Picture BLOGS TO FOLLOW!
