While Governors everywhere are having to cut education budgets, the current admin is gearing up to use this as a means to further their agenda: http://t.co/uv3eLVv Duncan is threatening to use his power to alter No Child Left Behind w/out Congressional approval!!

Common Core didn't have congressional approval either! http://concernedabouteducation.posterous.com/a-co...

MY SUGGESTION would be that parents demand their school boards FOCUS ON CONTENT.
Over the last 20 years, the length of my career, I have witnessed a gradual degradation of REAL, AUTHENTIC CONTENT.

I have compiled information on the Common Core Standards Initiative here: http://concernedabouteducation.posterous.com/educ...

I disagree. I don't discuss politics in the classroom - but I'm also glad that i'm a math teacher. I think that every teacher, no matter the subject, should present unbiased facts, and not their personal opinions. This has not been the case in my child's classrooms, and its definitely a misuse of power imho.
