10. You better care about Common Core--ALL of it
Mon Jul 8, 2013, 11:15 PM

It's completely opposed to the concept of local control, the hallmark of public education in the United States. It's anti-democratic. The U.S. isn't an itty-bitty European country--it is vast with a diverse population. One size does NOT fit all in education when public schools must take all comers, regardless of ability.

Common Core is the first step to destroying schools completely and turning them into online academies which would breed a whole generation of sociopaths and people who cannot think for themselves.
