"Common Core" is Another Harebrained Idea

from "reformers" who think all children from all over the country should be taught the same content at the same time regardless of ability differences or differences in location. What "common core" is really about is further enriching the hedge fund crooks and others who stand to make a killing at it:

“The implementation of the Common Core Standards, coupled with increasing rigor for teacher evaluation has presented a unique opportunity to create a national provider of school improvement and professional development services,” said Jonathan Grayer, Chairman and CEO of Weld North. “By combining these two independently exceptional organizations, we will immediately create one of the largest independent players in school improvement and professional development. This move, as well as our earlier investment in Education2020, furthers Weld North’s intention to play a significant role in tackling the country’s difficult K-12 education challenges.”

Do these people know jack shit about education? Of course not, but they have "Democrats" in Washington who back their filthy schemes.
