Anyone with school age kids..Common Core

Is anything different? Do you notice a change? Do you like it?

Will you watch this video and tell me if your kids working on stuff like this? Do you see all your kids textbooks and workbooks? Do they look like this?

I don't know how I stumbled onto this video but I've been curious about the new standards.

What do you think about some of the stuff in this video being taught to six year olds? No big deal?
 
no...the only thing that is even close for my 6 yrs olds stuff was basic stuff last year like ..voting, democracy, parties, uhm, branches of government

I dont see their actual textboks because theyre on ipads that live in school at her grade
I mean theyve got the normal, be respectful to other, everyone is different, everyone has strengths and weaknesses stuff but nothing on quite that scale


the oldest deals with social stuff like bullying, volunteering, but then she has a stock exchange field trip and some cia thing too...so its pretty broad

also a school spirit "fairy or wizard" day that was frankly hilarious as well as an apocolypse day



Ive only seen those type of books in the vid in books stores but never in their classrooms



I think I'd be a bit freaked about it but the author of the vid also obv has a spin hes trying to play too.
the 6 yr olds writing last year was a lot of "science" reports..she did a pretty good one on bats..lol
 
um, yes your kids are doing common core..


maybe not that text book but 45 states have adopted common core standards.



Someone please explain it to shirl so she can be an expert on this too
 
yeah, the actual textbook or any type of socialism theme is what I was talking about

Well that's not fair. You live in Connecticut. There's no minorities or economically disadvantaged in your entire state.

<--- from CT :)

Bridgeport doesn't count though. Those kids should at least lie about their address and pretend they belong in Trumbull.

ya I knew you were kidding...Im surprised the minority rate isn't a little higher here. It seem like there are a lotta indian kids around here.
 
I dont know..it seems like it would be a waste of resources to continue it, sort of redundant.
but idk, I haven't read all the info on the states education site to find out

Montessoris aren't happy. That's what I don't like about it. Abby is in Montessori now, and even if I don't like these standards I can't really get away from it. If I was running a Montessori...I don't know I'd be very unhappy it's against everything Montessori

Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it so reason to worry I guess. No reason to pay for Montessori. Guess I'll be saving some $$ so that's a positive
 
I haven't read about Common Core much though I hear about it from my teacher friends.

Anythings probably an upgrade from Sunshine State Standards and FCAT though. Moving from private to public school in high school and having to take the FCAT was a joke. I took harder tests than the FCAT in private school in like, 5th grade.

But Florida sucks, soooo...
 
lol @ Bridgeport. My HS friend lives there. I hear its not the best. Never been there though. I grew up in New Canaan.
 
I need to do some research on Common Core, since I have three pre-K kids and one high school student.

So far, what I know is:

PRO: Teachers hate it.

CON: The government is pushing it.

Damn, talk about conflicted feelings. This is how I'd feel if one serial killer killed another serial killer. Offsetting penalties maybe?
 
sample common core question:

If the government spends 700 trillion on food stamps and 500 trillion on welfare, how much more was spent on food stamps?

1) 200 trillion
G) 1200 trillion
6) -200 trillion
XVI) Not enough on either food stamps or welfare


Answer: XVI
 
hahahahaha

We all know the right answer is:

5(c).1: Where da fck is my cheque? I jus walked to the mailbox and my shizzle ain't there? What kind of fckn cuntry is this where I don't get my shit? Im gonna call Barry and hell straighten your ass out.

Final answer Regis.
 
I like the idea of having standards for teachers, but what scares me is:

1) What standards are considered important

2) Who gets to set those standards

I'd feel much better if all schools were private and developed their own standards. Then we'd have hundreds or thousands of experiments going all over the country and the schools would have to compete by constantly adopting the standards that work best.

Know the sad thing?

We already spend plenty of money on education. Here's a simple thing we could do:

Take the current spend at $X per student and give it out as a voucher. For people in the top 1/3 of income, take 33% of the voucher and give it to the people at the bottom 1/3 of income.

Voila. The poorest people have the largest vouchers and become the coveted customers in the new private system.

Problem solved.

But that would be admitting government failure on a massive scale. Shouldnt a simple "Im sorry" suffice? Our current administration seems to think so
 
My kids are using common core this year and I don't really know what's going on. Text books don't come home, grades are being inflated, not sure what else is going on.
