Post and Courier Letter to the Editor ‘Obamacore’ The - TopicsExpress

Post and Courier Letter to the Editor ‘Obamacore’ The education program Common Core was created by three non-government trade groups: the National Governors’ Association (NGA), the Council of Chief State School Officers, and Achieve, Inc., which was created by the NGA in 1996. Six state governors were chosen by a non-democratic process to manage the process. It was funded by deep pocket non-profits like the Gates Foundation and by education bureaucrats. These progressive non-profits have poured hundreds of millions into developing this program. The Obama administration has given financial support to the NGA in recent years. The U.S. Department of Education is using billions of federal dollars to convince school districts to adopt this program. The federal government is using the same secret tactics it did with Obamacare. Some call it “Obamacore.” The program is copyrighted and cannot be changed by states, local school boards or parents. Of course, your state income tax and local property taxes could skyrocket to pay the increased costs. Five education experts on Common Core’s validation committee refused to sign off on the program. In order to be admitted to a STEM (Science, Technology, engineering, mathematics) program, students must complete pre-calculus — ideally calculus — by the end of high school. The math is referred to as “critical,” but it is nothing more than recycled “new math” that was tried and abandoned decades ago. Dr. Jason Zimba, a chief drafter of the math standards, testified before the Massachusetts State Board of Education in 2010 that Obamacore is designed to prepare students only for a non-selective community college, not a university. Obamacore will put America last in education across the world because it’s not educational; it is dumbing down to advance a political goal. Before we forge ahead with this program, the Legislature and governor must vote to reject Obamacore ASAP. Bob Adams Salt Marsh Cove Charleston
