This is concerning about our education system, common core curriculum

Chrissy wrote:The Common Core State Standards Initiative was an effort initiated in 2009 by the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers to create national curriculum standards for K-12 education. Subsequently, the U.S. Department of Education incentivized the adoption of Common Core Standards through its Race to the Top program. To date, all but five states have adopted the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

Estrada says the Common Core curriculum allows for the teaching of a worldview which places the United Nations above the American Constitution.
“You know the worldview that’s being taught in the Common Core? It is the United Nations is better than our Constitution and our Declaration of Independence,” he said.

I mean, you have the classics being abandoned for instead reading executive orders from President Obama. What is up with this? Why are we leaving ‘Grapes of Wrath’ and, you know, ’1984′ to instead read executive orders from the president

Are there any examples of what this guy claims is going on with the curriculum or are we just supposed to take his word for all these things?

I didn't have time last night to get my hands on any actual study books, not sure if I can. I did a little research and you will notice the term "internationally used a lot, and global.

above is a ink from an advocate of the curriculum.

there was some debate against it on NPR
http://www.npr.org/2013/04/14/177175296/core-curriculum-puts-education-experts-at-odds

Now while I havnt had time to find that part that is one of many things that appall me about this I don't think that teacher would lie and ive seen stuff like this pop up in my children's books and in class. I got into a big argument with the principle at Escambia high one because of some stuff they were doing.

I think this is worth a look at because our president IS a global minded president. he does not hold the view of American exceptualism that most of us grew up with. He DOES view the UNas the ultimate power of the world, h proved that when he reported one of his own states to them. So yes I think this is a very serious assault on brainwashing the rest of American exceptualism out of our youth, not to mention its a proxy nationalization of our education system.

We seem to be proxy nationalizing a lot of things lately. No one notices.

This is a state-by-state initiative, not a national one. Teachers have played a major role in its formulation and implementation.

The states following along because of the Federal dollars following the program and nothing less. Teachers/administrators are being force fed this in inservice after inservice. They have no choice to listen because evaluations are going to be formatted after the learning goals set in place by this system. I would envision that American History as we have known it, will not be taught to kindergarten through grade 3 the way we learned it back in the day unless you send your child to a private school. Aside from that reason and wanting my child to have religion as part of her school day, is why my youngest does attend elsewhere.

Part of it is that we are downplaying of America's foundation to try and make others who are not native, feel more accepted. Part of that is the elimination of high school level American history classes that focus on the American Revolution and WASP colonization of what was called The New World from roughly 1607 (Jamestown) through the first five Presidents. High school history now begins at the Civil War and moves forward. All of the colonization and revolution pieces are left behind in middle school which is in my opinion, quite sad since most kids critical thinking and analysis kicks in during high school. Oh, they may get some watered down version in college somewhere, but American exceptionalism and the roots of this nation will not be emphasized. As a matter of fact, they will be marginalized. If they do get a few of the profs at UWF for these parts of American History, then they will be quite lucky because a lot of them know their content and will vividly teach it in lecture.

I do not envy teachers and the tug of war rope they have become because of outside influences and folk with agendas to use propaganda on developing minds.

I didn't say anything like that....not even close. Teaching moral and ethical behavior is very important. We're not talking Lord of the Flies here.
