[QUOTE="fubarjohnnyr, post: 2405683, member: 25570"] 26 year educator here. Common Core is just a catalyst for what has been happening locally for years, just on a national level. From my first day of teaching, education in Oklahoma has been under some sort of reform none of which means a damn thing. Educating a human being is a simple thing, learning is inherent in everyone but the mastery is having a teacher/administrator who can infect their passion and subsequent knowledge into a young brain. Nothing more is needed, it's pure and natural. Districts that foster those effective personnel and weed the ones who are not will never have to worry about responsibility to their community. State mandates, rules, procedures, guidelines, quotas, standardized test scores, learning outcomes, A to F school district grading, blah, blah, and more blah just turns the whole thing into a **** pile of bureaucracy with 90% rate of wasted motion, time, and effort. Throw in CC from a federal level and it's exponentially grown to something unrecognizable by common sense laden eyes. Whether or not we can resist the mind numbing implementation of CC and further relinquish our freedoms, there is one effect for certain that I've seen the past 10 years. There are more quality people leaving the educational field than those fresh, naive faces coming into the profession. A simple cause-effect process that politicians and policy makers simply never see until it's too late. Then again, maybe a minimum wage test proctor or a computer terminal is a preferable methodology for creating that free-thinking, autonomous citizen of tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
