Cynic- re: /m3392 That editorial is as concise and to the point as any I've read. Also very true. Way back when I was in school, by the way graduating from HS a few years before you, we were taught to always question, always challenge what we were told and read, especially from government and authority. Think critically of all told. Most of what's taught today about history and civics is propaganda, not fact. It's quite illuminating that the ones in power now, mostly my age, preach that one should never question or challenge what they're told by government. Those same people have transformed the educational system into one that spits out those all too willing to do so. A couple generations worth now of those who don't or can't think critically. Few things are more sinister than the Progressive view of people, the world and how they intend to achieve their goals. Edited 04-24-2013 10:08 PM

Its an editorial, but a frightening one considering I graduated high screwl in 1973. Proud to say that all my little ones are now conservative adults.

EDUK8R, as with all legislation these days the devil is in the details. Details designed to be implemented "later" after the foundation is in place. Common Core will also lock home schooled out of the "system". Just one of many sources: "Privacy Invasion/Data Mining" http://truthinamericaneducation.com/catego...nvasiondata-mining/

Common Core is supposed to stress problem-solving, critical thinking, group work, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), and creating an argument in writing. I am still formulating my opinion on the whole thing. It will take a couple of years for schools to use them, but the new PARCC assesment will thoroughly evaluated by everyone, I'm sure. The whole idea is college and career readiness, but if the College Board is unhappy with the students coming into their schools, why not stop admitting them? Money is the simple answer.
Not all children are even college-bound. Yet, we push them through as if they are instead of introducing them to classes (starting in middle school) that teach training and skills.

I've read and heard quite a bit about Common Core". It seems to be the icing on the cake of what's been going on now for about 20 years. Kids aren't taught to think or reason, only parrot data and stats to pass tests. Dubious, questionable data and stats in many cases.

From "Please Do Not Adjust Your Child"
"Of all the arguments public-school advocates have used to hoodwink generations of parents into condemning their own children to years of state-controlled subservience training, one of the most successful is that without public schools, children cannot be properly "socialized," and will therefore be ill-prepared for life in the "real world." Not only is this argument absurd on its face, but that face also reveals the ugliest intention of compulsory schools: the deliberate retarding of human moral and intellectual development."

Just re-read 3383 and would like to shed some light on a blurry description. A school district is not compensated by the state for the busing of students within a certain distance. It used to be 1 mile. The district, when I was involved, was approached a number of times about providing bus service in areas like Heritage Hill, Meadowview, etc. The problem was, and probably remains, that doing so creates several problems with regard to State regs. and funding. Not as easy or seemingly inexpensive as it seems. State regs. often dictate that common sensical actions are impossible. Let alone "ethical" actions. Edited 03-12-2013 06:16 PM
