From Diane Douglas, Running for Superintendent of public schools in AZ! Thanks Gabby Saucedo Mercer for pointing her out... I looked ... and she needs to be Supervisor. She gets CommonCore. We win this race folks, we win a huge battle in the war against CC: I am a parent Approximately 20 years ago, I attended a PTSA meeting at my daughter’s school. Little did I know the impact that evening would have on me. One of the reports given by the principal boasted that 70% to 80% percent of all students in grades five through eight had earned a “Certificate of Merit” or higher for the marking period. My daughter was only in the second grade at the time, and not knowing what a Certificate of Merit was, I turned to the more “seasoned” parent seated next to me and whispered: “What’s a “Certificate of Merit?” She happily explained it was for those students who had all “B’s” or higher on their report cards. The assembled parents were delighted, the principal was so very proud, but I sat there stunned. I couldn’t help but wonder how it was possible for such a staggering percentage of students, across four grade levels, to be performing in the top twenty percentile academically. The accountant in me thought, “Holy cow, they’re cooking the books!” Read the rest at Dianes Website. Thats how we are going to win this... Right there!!! cc: Staci R.
