Got in trouble at work today over common core.

[elephant hunter]

Really Tnready, not common core since the Tennessee legislature changed the name to squelch the rising tide against common core but changed nothing else. By any other name... I teach math and my students returned from taking part one of the algebra test totally deflated. I told them about the viral common core problem concerning 5 X 3. They also asked how a quadratic could be put into a different form. I told them about vertex form. I have been warned to never do these things again. I thought my job was to teach them. Guess not.

1. Education has become more like a religion.

And Common Core seems to be the newest god.

2. I'm sorry you have to deal with this sort of crap.

And your students have to deal with it too.

I am appalled.



Hang in there!

3. TnReady for what?

4. Your job is NOT to teach them.

*Primarily*.... at least.


But welcome to DU.
