Tying various subjects together into projects predates Common Core and is not mentioned in the Common Core Standards.

I have no idea but that is how it is being implemented in our school. I assumed (and you know what means) that this is a CC requirement. If not, then it's yet another unrelated dumb idea (IMO).

Yes...

Absolutely!!!

I worked at a public school for ten years. Research John Dewey. The UN' s agenda 21. Books: Credentialed to Destroy, teaching Johnny to think, ominous parallels, and my own logic of course. Also the lack of willingness on the part of school staff to even discuss it beyond the same droning words of...college and career readiness, which amounts to nothing but feel good nonsense. What about the arrests of parents at school board meetings who dared demand answers to their concerns?

It's a wedge and a nudge towards socialism. Do some research beyond what the paid talking heads tell you. You are gullible if you think this is innocent. Having the gov calling the shots (ANY shots) in education, molding of young minds, is an evil recipe that's been baked before. I urge you to wake up.

Which Common Core standard says to "tie together various subjects into projects?"

What sources do you recommend?

How did you come to your conclusion?

There is no such thing as a "Common Core curriculum." The standards are goals. How things are taught is up to the schools.

Hi everyone, I am an English major, and as such am very concerned about the fact that the Common Core seems to be doing away with fiction in English classes and focusing more on nonfiction articles and essays. I actually wrote a letter to the editor on this subject, if anyone is interested: http://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/op...

Hey! Another admirer of Dante.
I want to be careful. My understanding is that AR envisioned her Gulch inhabitants as temporary absentees, who would return back to the country to restore and rebuild. They shrugged so as to hasten the collapse and therefore hasten the recovery
My perception, and it might very well be unfair, is that at least some of the people who shrug now here, do it because they gave up. Of course, three will not be a real Atlantis, a copy of AR's imagined one. But there might be ways to fight the onslaught of moochers and parasites in such a way that they loose quicker than otherwise. It boils down, I think, of persuading minds. The most able ones first, but gradually many, many others.
What do you think?

Exactly correct Carol. Before we were a separate country, children were sent to one room schools which covered grades 1 through 4. They were allowed to move at their own pace and were not held to a rigid stupidity that demanded that if they were seven years-old, they had to "know" this and that.

Hi, Carol,
I wish it were only in the ivy league schools. It is, unfortunately, much wider in educational institutions and much deeper in mass communications. We have a huge battle on our hands.

I realized that after you shared about your past. I wrongly assumed it was at an event.

No

I have a crazy schedule that started this spring. I can tell you about it in PM if you want. Thank you for sharing some person info with me.
