It is remarkable that so many people have fallen for Common Core. The education system has tried to remove independent thinking and sought to teach "group think" for years. Common Core entire purpose is indoctrination of our children. They purposely try to keep the parents out of the education process because they know we would accept what they are doing. The math curriculum shows that they would like to speed our descent to a third world nation. I hope it ends up failing soon.

Great information. Every citizen should be greatly concerned about common core in the classroom. Oppose it at every turn.

Why am I not surprised?

I've worked with various incarnations of the Common Core in the classroom for five years, and I can attest to the unmitigated disaster it is, conceptually, practically, and instructionally. In theory it was designed to implement universal content instruction into the national public school system to provide balance and equality to the nation's collective student body. In reality it was designed by bureaucrats and consultants who have nary a clue about classroom learning and teaching. The saddest result, aside from the unfathomable waste of time and effort the CC has caused, is the amount of tax dollars frittered away on its design, promotion, and forced inclusion into the country's school system.

Mc5aw,
I would assume you're a teacher? Good for you and thank you. I suspect that, in addition to bureaucrats and consultants you mention, lobbyists played a role in common core. Your comments about a huge top-down approach pushed by lobbyist-influenced-bureaucrats wasting time and tax dollars is spot on.

I am a physician and I have, in addition to a regular practice, been deeply involved in implementation of the ACA (Affordable Care Act), i.e. Obama Care, the past 3+ years. It is a top-down lobbyist-influenced program with a plethora of untested ideas and mandates. I have read the bill. There are some good parts of the ACA but like Common Core it is resulting in an "unfathomable waste of time and effort" and tax dollars.

There is a fair amount of conjecture and misinformation spread about the ACA. One item I would point out as incorrect in the first video is the speaker inferring that Obama Care requires doctor's offices to ask questions or provide questionnaires regarding guns in the home. In another thread I pointed out that the ACA does NOT require questions about gun ownership. On the other hand various organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends physician talk with parents and patients about gun safety and to make sure guns are safely stored in the home which is what any of us at this forum would agree with. It is also encouraged that physicians discuss gun safety issues with families with a mentally unstable person in the home or a demented person (i.e. Alzheimer's) in the home.

Too much like 1984 for me. Imagine one person at a computer terminal dictating how history will be taught in the whole county.

Next will be book burning.

I heard a story about a boy in school that was trying to find information on gun control using a school computer. He could not find any pro-gun websites. He tried looking for abortion info and could find no pro-life websites. Then tried to find Republican websites but could only access Democratic websites. That is the way it will work. I didnt get all the details but more info is coming on that problem and people are in trouble over it.

Practitioners take their cues from the general attitude of the bureaucracy. That there is nothing on paper in ACA requiring physicians to ask about guns in the home provides "plausible deniability" to those proponents of the more destructive aspects of the ACA.

Common Core works the same way in pushing a gun control agenda by suggestion, rather than law. It's the progressive technique, and well documented by advocates of "cultural revolution".

One of the many things I like about my doctor--is he knows I have guns--I even saw him at one of the ranges here about 2 years ago--and he desnt delve into--non health issues and refuses to do so. Walk into his office and you see what he has as a "Complaints Department" - which is a pineapple grenade with one number attached to the ring--says: Take a number"

Anyway, he's all business and I havent met any local health professional that likes the stupidity going on.
