1. The increasing number of standardized tests that will go along with the implementation of Common Core
2. The U. S. Department of Education is bribing state governments to go along with Common Core, and other reforms that include basing teacher evaluation on standardized test scores and privatizing education
3. Teachers played almost no part in creating Common Core Standards. Instead, the people at the table included representatives of technology companies, test companies, textbook companies, and once again, those whose entire idea of education centers around privatization and charter schools.
If you have read this blog long enough, you also know that I have written several times that the education policy of the Obama Administration is just as bad as that of George W. Bush's administration.
I don't know what kind of schools President Bush's daughters would have attended had they been of school age when he was in the White House, but President Obama has made certain that his daughters are in a school that has not implemented Common Core Standards and will not be implementing them.
Why does President Obama believe Common Core is right for everyone else's children, but not for his?
