Hello I am Kreitleinn's nephew who lives in bentonville, Arkansas. the answer is yes, common core pushes the smart down and the less smart into one class, A marxist idea. Laws like no child left behind just push the lower class up and upper class down. Also Us Education is like the berlin wall, there not afraid of you entering, there afraid of you leaving, you have to be at school a certAain number of days to move on. we are also forced to do what they want not what we know is best. gotta go, take a stand against communism will write second part later.
Did you leave out the part of your post where you explain the reasons behind your opinions with some type of supporting substance/evidence?
You are pretty ignorant about the issues. Please show me what in Common Core Standards pushes the smart down? Here's the link to the standards: http://www.corestandards.org/read-the-standards/ I agree that a lot of crap is out there with the label "Common Core" but the actual standards are pretty good. No Child Left Behind was not meant to dumb things down. It was meant to do the opposite--it was meant to bring the lowest up. It didn't do a good job at that, but the intent was not to dumb down. The intent was to get everyone up to a minimum level. The reason you have to be in school a certain number of days is just common sense. You can't learn if you aren't there to learn. - - - Updated - - - Honestly, it reads like it was written by a high school student who is about to fail due to absences.
Actually, the answer is no. YOu have several choices to obtain your primary and secondary education. It can be public school, private school, or home school. By virture of allowing choices it is not communism. As for Common core, it does not push smart people down the drain. It does, however, create a standard by which all students across the natin can be evaluated on, which is what Eisenhower did in the 1950's. The fact that you have a certain number of days has been in place when I went to school several decades ago. But the No Child Left Behind Act, passed in 2002, requires now not to allow social promotion, which includes missing more day than what is allowed. The rest of your post is pure political nonsense.
Since your complaints are in regard to education, it would seem more prudent to pose your point of view using correct grammar, punctuation, capitalization. Otherwise it appears you have failed to learn within the educational system and are now complaining about how it is at fault. Perhaps those "certAain number of days to move on" are a bit more relevant to obtaining knowledge than they first appear?
The rest of your post is pure political nonsense? I disagree. The ENTIRE post is pure political nonsense. Education is necessary for our society to function. Public education is the most effective way to accomplish this. Those who seem to oppose learning - anything - because of some crazed ideology they have been instructed to believe don't pay attention in school anyway, and it shows.
it's never PURE communism... but my area does not have private schools. They used to, and kids that got expelled from public, would end up there all throughout the 80's. But in the 90's, public school made an alternative school for behavior issues because they lost in court when challenged on providing education to all, even the ********s. The one private school we had, slowly lost attendance, and they didn't pay the teachers even 50% of what public schools did, and they closed up. in this regard... my community is more communist than your community. one county over, there is even less option since there is only 1 school (k-12) in the community. They don't even get school choice like my county does. They are even MORE communist than my community is. Communism and free market is a sliding scale... not an absolute.
