But,
Common Core Tests are federal and mandated and will include ‘contorted math’
problems unless Georgia can substitute these for tests that do not include
‘contorted math’ problems.
My colleagues at the Educational Freedom Coalition.com are
asking for a clean break with Common Core to avoid the testing issues and ban unconstitutional
data collection, brainwashing and conditioning included in the Common Core
Psychological Testing scheme.
They are asking State Superintendent Woods how he will
handle the testing question. Woods is
correct that ‘regular math’ needs to be taught, but if our students are
required to take the federal test, they will also need to know ‘contorted
math’.
This is a 10th Amendment issue and may result
in reduced federal bribes. Stopping
Common Core in Georgia will require a Bill in the Georgia Legislature banning
Common Core. It will also require that we do without whatever federal bribe
money that is tied to Common Core compliance.
Many of us believe that the U.S. Department of Education
should be abolished. Education is not
one of the enumerated powers granted by the states to the federal. We also recognize the damage that has already
been done by federal meddling in education.
This would require that we admit that the responsibility
for education resides with the student, assisted by parents and teachers and
government dictates are counterproductive, expensive, intrusive, inappropriate
and dangerous.
