    I don't get much feedback. It's her birthday this weekend, so going to take her out for dinner. I'll ask.

    I hope that this makes an impact on my daughter. She about to graduate college with at teaching certificate in math.

    Of course, the socialists at UW have been filling her head with all the propaganda of CC.

    There's a comment on there that pretty much sums up exactly how I feel:

    "Standards are necessary, but not these standards, implemented in this way."

    My eldest brother, my sister and myself are all capable and sometimes avid readers... my 2nd eldest brother hates to read, and reads almost nothing.

    The other three of us were taught to read via phonetics... in my case by my mother. But, he was taught the "word-unit" method, I think it was called. Basically it meant that he couldn't learn any word he had not already seen. Til now, I had never even heard of anything so evil in education.

    I find it interesting that all the comments are from men on this post

    Yes.

    This photo makes me want to punch somebody in the face, hard. Probably not a healthy reaction. So be it. It is mine, and I own it.

    This photo is an exellent example of how the left wants to see our children. They'll like this. It will make their hearts soar with delight.

    well-yes, the puppetmasters. I think the average progressive has way too much trust in their handlers. They'll agree math should be a fluid non-reason and logic based "experience" but even they aren't enjoying the sausage-making of common core right now.
