On common Core

69. I don't disagree with you about the benefit, Nadine. I disagree about the net value of the benefit

weighed against the cost to get it under anything like current conditions. What you want comes with a price tag orders of magnitude greater than the actual benefit.

On the current track, once standards are used to corporatize, break down, deprofessionalize, and plunder public education the long sought and high prices paid for standards will become a mockery to create masses just educated enough to perform menial work for as low a cost as possible.

There is no baby, there isn't even a fetus, there is at best a fertilized egg in a bathwater of trillion gallons of poison sludge under the oversight and direction of villains of the worst description. Hell, if there was a baby I am forced by logic to cut my losses. The sludge cannot be dealt with or contained, the baby will drown in it one way or the other but perhaps many other babies can be saved from the tide of toxic filth.

The architects of all plausible plans right now have malicious intent and very different goals than yours and the tiger is too big and wild to ride to any actual benefit.

You also seem stubborn that your goal standards are the goal of the people scheming the standards when they are exclusively used as a propaganda tool to reach terminally nefarious agendas.

The prime agenda is not yours. One comes out far behind when they gain even the whole world and lose their soul, coming out with Australia at the sacrifice of the rest of the world (not to mention that soul) is not going to cut it.

You are not seeing the top line here because you are focused on your top line but you don't control the game and that edges you toward destroying the village to save it territory in this environment.
