Gates puts up 200 million to fund Common Core

Posted by Non_mooching_artist 10 years, 11 months ago to Education

Note the large payouts to unions, and also CCSSO. The CCSSO was under some scrutiny because of what the money was actually paying for. Extravagant vacations for the members, which looks a lot like bribery.... There is so much money going to so many schools and groups, it's staggering. And people think there isn't an agenda behind all this....

luckily, you can still vote for who sits on your school board.

  From my understanding, it will not matter who is on the school board. They will be powerless to change the standards.

      I should add that what I have seen, CC take decisions out of local hands so it may not be true that it depends how bold & virtuous they are :(

      True, but how many do you know in government that fit that bill?

    Yep. It's approved by the STATE BoE. Not town. That said, I believe we can make enough noise to sink this rotten ship. Every week there is a large op ed piece in our local paper citing reasons why cc should not be part of local education, or state mandates. It's also becoming a bit contentious.
