centrism is a hell of a drug

BetterToRuleInHell posted:

Forgive me for my lack of fully understanding the structure of Common Core, but my question about it is related to No Child Left Behind, its biggest criticism as far as I remember was that it set up for children to learn enough to pass tests/benchmarks rather than expand and help children learn like what they needed.

Is this a criticism that follows Common Core? Again, I must shamefully admit I lack little knowledge of it other than students at a particular school had to write a essay about the holocaust being a myth or something to that effect.

Before common core, every state just had their own set of benchmarks (content strands, standards, etc.). Most of those standards were pretty drat similar to the common core. Where they were different they were most often worse.

On the other hand, I know TFA corps members who are making $70,000 in their first year with regular raises thereafter.

This is true if it is served open, it's plus tax if it's sold closed. Because, that's why.

Because no one at a bar wants to calculate the loving tax on their beer.

School reform is ridiculous bullshit. Those students are failing because they are poor. If being poor weren't so horrendous they would do better.

I don't even care about common core. Common core is probably a good idea. What I really hate is the infantalization of teachers, the removal of their protections as workers, and charters.
