Apparently that whole Common Core thing isn't as rosy as Lord McIntyre wants everyone to believe.
Parents around the country are protesting Common Core by keeping their kids home from school today. You can find the bad a$$ article right smack here.
In New York, the first state to implement the program, state education leaders are already beginning to back off their support for it after complaints and a big drop in test scores.
Then there was the wisdom of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan who over the weekend dismissively indicated that concerns about Common Corer were primarily from white suburban moms finding out that their kids were not as smart as they originally thought.
Heh. Reminds me of a certain commissioner.
