Common Core - Page 2

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos unveiled a plan Thursday that would provide $5 billion to federalize school choice by setting up a nationwide federal tax-credit scholarship program.

An education analyst who says the Common Core Standards have been the “worst large-scale educational failure in 40 years” said the business community propped up the education reform,primarily to provide basic skills to immigrant workers.

Conservative parents and education activists are expressing alarm over ostensibly well-intentioned school choice legislation that seeks to ensure families of children in private schools, religious schools, and homeschools receive the same tax advantages as those of public school children.

“The bill states, ‘The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2020,’” wrote the congressman. “Neither Congress nor the President, through his appointees, has the constitutional authority to dictate how and what our children must learn.”

An author of a study that examined the effects of the Common Core State Standards on school choice says the Obama-era K-12 school reform is the “worst large-scale educational failure in 40 years.”

Staff of the U.S. Education Department say rumors that secretary Betsy DeVos will be resigning her post are unfounded.

In the guide, the education department explains that ESSA requires student report cards to display information about how much money from federal, state, and local sources is spent per student for each school.

Conservative grassroots parents, who voiced concerns that the true purpose of Common Core was to promote left-wing ideology in schools are vindicated, say education policy analysts at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).

A study finds that school choice has been obstructed since most states implemented the Common Core State Standards.

The declaration specifically states the G-20 education ministers are “in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda.”

“It doesn’t take undercover investigative journalists to unmask the massive privacy invasion enabled by educational technology and federal mandates,” conservative author and CRTV host Michelle Malkin wrote at National Reviewin April. “The kiddie data heist is happening out in the open — with Washington politicians and bureaucrats as brazen co-conspirators.”

A grassroots parent organizer in Utah says her state is a good example of how Betsy DeVos’s Department of Education is still forcing states to comply with federal mandates that go against the wishes of parents and elected officials.

Karl Marx’s brand of socialism, an unequivocal disaster that has produced mass poverty, tyranny, and untold deaths, is mounting a comeback among so-called “liberal progressive” Democrats.

“For me then, it was all or nothing,” Duncan writes. “(Actually, if I had it to do all over again, I would push even harder than we did; there’s never a “right” time for fundamental change.)”

The Senate has approved Jeb Bush’s former lieutenant governor for the top U.S. Education Department post of assistant secretary of K-12 education.

“Rather than equip an individual to pursue whatever goal he sets for himself as part of his God-given freedom, this is, instead, the German model being pushed by misguided business interests and some state interests,” she explained. “As a result, the type of education an individual would receive would be influenced by crony corporations dictating to schools the skills needed for future workers.”

“What stands out in the report is the appalling level of violence in schools: 789,000 physical attacks, 2,200 attacks with firearms or explosives, 10,000 sexual assaults, etc.,” Kirsanow notes. “The galactically misguided Obama guidance needs to be rescinded immediately before the violence increases even more.”

“It’s just a particularly clear example of the left-liberal bias that pervades nearly all of the College Board’s AP U.S. History course material, from the Trump administration right back through the colonial period,” he asserts. “Maybe this incident will wake parents up to the need for a real alternative to the College Board’s biased curriculum.”

“Facebook is just one of the tech giants partnering with the U.S. Department of Education and schools nationwide in pursuit of student data for meddling and profit,” Malkin writes.

“I think about the kids,” the secretary said, reports the Dallas News. “I think we need to stay focused on what’s right for kids. And I hope that adults would keep adult disagreements and disputes in a separate place, and serve the students that are there to be served.”

“Nearly every state that adopted the Common Core during the Obama administration has kept the most important features,” Tampio noted, adding that the claim of DeVos and politicians that ESSA “has repealed the Common Core mandate is misleading.”

U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos took to task state school chiefs who, she said, operate “as if your work was only accountable to folks in my office.”

As Breitbart News reported in 2014, during a debate about the Common Core standards education reform at St. Anselm’s College in Manchester, New Hampshire, Pook claimed to have “helped write the standards,” and said that, as a white male, he has been given “a lot of privilege” that he never earned.

Jon Boeckenstedt, the Associate Vice President for enrollment management and marketing at DePaul University, took to Twitter to say, “Did you try to turn a national tragedy into a promotional opportunity? I’ve seldom seen something in poorer taste.”

U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos may have lost another opportunity to show education policy watchers from her own party that she understands what they have been fighting against with the Common Core standards for the past decade.

Massachusetts students were first in the nation in reading and math performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) exam – until the state adopted the Common Core standards in 2010 and then updated the same standards this year.

GOP Senate candidate from Alabama Judge Roy Moore summed up his view of what is needed in America: faith in God and understanding and adhering to the Constitution.

The scores of United States fourth graders dropped on an international measure of reading skills – with those of the lowest-performing students declining the most – following years of the implementation of Common Core.

Judge Roy Moore went on an education tweet storm Saturday in response to Breitbart News’s article highlighting Democratic candidate Doug Jones’s support for Common Core-like national standards.
