HUGE PUBES A PLUS posted:https://twitter.com/Yamiche/status/821511051867025408 so basicaly public schools will become privatised and charge kids to go and also teach them evangelical horse poo poo. fun times ahead. why do people hate common core again? because it doesn't let hick shitholes teach bullshit or there legit reasons? mintskoal posted:"I look forward to you visiting Connecticut and talking about the role of guns in schools"  i am honestly curious to see how the trump admin reacts to the next big school shooting. my guess is blame the media(video games/tv/movies)

Mayor Dave posted:i really wish one of the senators would ask her about this quote during the hearing Alexander was never going to let that happen. five minutes of questioning per senator was enough to softball her and not get into details she had no way to answer. It was bad enough she couldn't tell the difference between growth and proficiency, had no clue about financial aid for higher ed, and completely hosed up about special education. Of course when asked about being VP for her mother's foundation for years she said that was a clerical error.

How Joe Lieberman kept his seat after what he pulled during the health care fight is beyond me. He's practically a caricature of an utterly spineless politician.

It has none of the math stuff people hate. Not one single bit of it is in common core. It's just schools went 30 years without buying new text books and common core finally was the thing that pryed them off their 1970s math books and it turns out a lot changed in math education in an entire generation.

Not one single bit of it is in common core. from what i heard is they try various different methods to teach people math. I was always bad at math and my teachers at least in high school never helped me(other then one teacher) and i was in loving "alternative" math for dumbasses. so maybe it could have helped me. thankfully i am done with math in education and will probably never need it again.

I don't think there is a sizable majority of voters who are for education privatization except for A) weird rand-esque rich assholes B) homeschoolers C) people who send their kids to evangelical private schools B and C are just mad because they're upset about their tax dollars "being wasted" and A are just freaks who think that bad inner city schools with metal detectors are the ultimate indicator that public schools are a failure and should be completely replaced

Do we know when the vote is on her position? Might be worth calling my senator again if it has yet to happen. E: gently caress it, called them anyway. C-Euro has issued a correction as of 23:38 on Jan 20, 2017 |

Basically common core isn't perfect, and could be improved upon, but per usual in the US the proposed alternatives are either returning to the standards and methods of the 1950s or obliterating everything and making up poo poo as we go rather than nuanced, careful, forward-looking reforms
