Accident Prone Posts: 22277 Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR	kmcsunshine - 2014-07-16 5:18 AM Did a little googling on common core+Bill of Rights and found this: http://universalfreepress.com/common-core-childrens-textbook-completely-rewrites-second-amendment/ Every time there is a curriculum change and text books are replaced, they infiltrate a little more. Common Core itself is not the cause of that but it is a catalyst being used to indoctrinate via CCSS aligned materials.

The photo in the link is from a CCCS Textbook. Hey SVincent, am I still looking for the evil? No wonder I don't anything to do with Common Core! And I am confident this is not the 'rewritten' lesson contained within this Cirriculum either! Yes, I am very active in what My Boys study and should either of them come home with something like this, well it wouldn't be pretty.

Yes, I am very active in what My Boys study and should either of them come home with something like this, well it wouldn't be pretty. I completely agree that this example of CURRICULUM is 100% unacceptable. But PLEASE NOTE: your issue here is with the CURRICULUM, NOT with the STANDARDS. That was my only point in all of my previous posts: curriculum and standards are NOT the same things. I'm not promoting the CCSS by any means, and if my children brought this home as school work I would be livid. If as a teacher, I was given this to teach - I wouldn't. In my classroom, no matter how indoctrinated the CURRICULUM is, I teach a very neutral lesson that equally and TRUTHFULLY presents the information that is required by the STANDARD.

My earlier posts were to simply help clarify the difference between STANDARDS and CURRICULUM. We are on the same "side" lol and I feel like we are both repeating ourselves "arguing" about the same thing, just using different words.lol

But where You and differ is just who sets the Standard. The State or The Parent. Therefore I have a problem with teaching to a test which what I believe happens more often than not. I as a Parent am responible for My Child to include education. Not the State!

Parents like yourself are the HIGHLIGHT of my career. Nothing makes me sadder than having students with parents who just don't give a damn. When my own boys reach schooling-age, I'm leaning heavily towards homeschooling - for the very reasons we've all brought up in this feed. In my area, the only options available besides the local public schools are a Waldorf Academy (would never send my kids there lol) and a Christian Academy - both an hour away (one way). So for us parents that want to take control and play a large role in our kids' educations, homeschooling is where it is at.

Do the parents decide the standards and curriculum? Do they have a committee of parents to make these decisions before anything is implemented in the classroom? I think parental involvement is essential. I don't know many who would want to take on the responsibility of creating a school curriculum, but it would be great input.

Cold hands and Warm Heart Location: oklahoma	I may be wrong, but doesnt a charter get its funding from the public school system? I know that partial funding comes from local taxes and federal funding. Maybe those funds would make the local p.s. more viable if allocated there. Idk, i hate discontent when we all really just want the best for our children. I wouldnt go so far as proclaiming that one sytem or protocol is superior or ' one size fits all.' I do agree though that if and when a majority of the parents take a more active interest in their children, wed all be better off, as would society as a whole.
