Teachers against Common Core

The board of the NY state teachers union unanimously withdrew its support for the Common Core standards — a major blow for CCore advocates who have been touting support from teachers as proof that the standards will succeed nationwide.

Miss.'s Petal School District Superintendent John Buchanan’s comments to teachers at a recent district meeting was a thinly veiled threat for anyone who disagreed with Common Core, said State Sen. Michael Watson.

If even the state poster child for Common Core doesn’t like to be held accountable, how can Duncan blame “white suburban moms”? The fact that high stakes testing will continue to drive funding for public education under CC means more cooking the books, cheating scandals and draining of joy from classrooms.
