Common Core Education.

Dear Parent's,

Arm yourself with knowledge and information no matter your side on common core, this video is a glimpse into a society of cookie cutter educational system that is doomed to fail. We know that the system is broken but we continue to try to make this mold out of people. People who are independent in their nature, independent in their skills and independent in whothey are as an individual. The final line in this video is a key principal for what I believe is part of this broken system. Parental involvement in the children's educational career is key to success and without involvement children fall through the cracks and then we blame the teacher. Why common core was implemented without any question from the general public is beyond me.

This takes me back to a TED talk that I've shared several times, where we try to put children into these molds and expect them to come out ready for the world. This is not the case and it never will be This is a 40 minute video worth watching because your children's education is at stake.

Arizona has renamed the Common Core as College and Career Readiness. The Department of Ed did this because Common Core puts a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Yet, AZ schools are required by law to uphold the standards mandated by the federal government.
It is important for accurate information to be shared about Common Core Standards, watch the video and then consider where you go from here.
