[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 2412077, member: 4953"] Excellent example of the rubbish being taught in common core. [URL="http://www.mommabears.org/1/post/2014/02/a-papa-bear-speaks-up-engineer-dad-explains-concerns-for-7th-grade-common-core-math.html"]http://www.mommabears.org/1/post/2014/02/a-papa-bear-speaks-up-engineer-dad-explains-concerns-for-7th-grade-common-core-math.html[/URL] I know for a fact that they are pushing literary assignments onto all subjects. My wife, who teaches art, has had to add a certain percentage of literary assignments to meet the new standards. I really worry that eventually they will be testing art with standardized testing and frankly, the only way to get a test in art is to for the content to be heavy on art history. The kids hate art history and teachers hate teaching it. Yes, some is necessary but to make an entire HS class focus on art history is a disaster. One of the primary purposes for an art class is to give kids a creative outlet. A reprieve from all the other BS they are dealing with throughout the day. [/QUOTE]
