Theres a Shorewood School District forum on Common Core coming up this month or next--theyre scheduling it now. Please consider attending. Theres also an Oct. 5 forum in Germantown featuring a child psychologist named Dr. Gary Thompson who has witnessed the sorts of things this school social worker in New York has experienced. Weve got some incredible teachers and administrators in Shorewood who are concerned about these types of reports and are trying to figure out how to balance the demands of CC, which was adopted by Wis. and which were aligning to, with our kids and teachers well-being. Its an important dialogue. This is powerful testimony connecting Common Core and emotional stress in kids and their teachers, from a social worker who has seen the trauma first hand. Please do spread the word that we need to talk about the CC standards, which many say are developmentally inappropriate in early ed, and the tests. https://youtube/watch?v=oCaXTNcNJRI
