The parents cooperated and expected their children to respect their elders and for authority.<br /><br />Now everyone reads some opinion piece and thinks they are an f'ing expert in education. No one respects expertise or authority anymore.<br /><br />No matter how dumb you are, you've got an opinion and you think your gut feeling is the same as spending time learning and researching. You don't let your neighbor who watches television fix your television but you will let any yahoo try to fix the school system.<br /><br />Instead of asking why your child needs help with homework and going to the teacher to get that help, you now blame the system and the teacher.

She reads books-and has never read or heard of the left leaning website you mention. She's given weekly tests- and the math is explained differently, but our teachers give credit if the work is done correctly- no matter the method.<br /><br />Our schools are rated first in the state-want to know why? common core is not the issue at all. If a district hires competent teachers, pays them fairly, gives them the financial tools to execute the curriculum, and support to challenge students- it works. Most educational concepts do if handled like that. CPS also excelled with "no child left behind."<br /><br />All this common core rattling is ok with me- my child is going to get an outstanding education in CPS no matter what. I wonder if Mr Reeves's children are in public school and he has seen common core first hand, or are they in private school and he is just a puppet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-32506066671451585172014-12-02T02:58:58.101-06:002014-12-02T02:58:58.101-06:00He doesn't care about putting the MS Departmen...He doesn't care about putting the MS Department of Education back in charge of standards and what this will do to our kids because he doesn't have to live with the consequences.<br />The pandering needs to stop.

If gifted programs within schools like their math, then they can keep their math. This issue is about THE MAJORITY of students. <br />FYI - schools still have libraries and accelerated reading programs with books that lean all sorts of ways. (left, right, forward, and backward).<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-73196663383451657542014-12-01T22:22:21.757-06:002014-12-01T22:22:21.757-06:00What a bold move by Tate, following in the footst...What a bold move by Tate, following in the footsteps of visionaries such as Phil and Jindell. He doesn't offer any alternatives, of course, other than a task force (the last hope of a small mind). What standards do you suppose he would prefer? Which of the CC standards does he specifically oppose? He has no idea. A mediocrity writ small, with an outsized ego, like virtually every one of Mississippi's politicos. Please Tate, do us a favor: There is a bank somewhere that needs a good teller.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-56661668926200615992014-12-01T21:13:09.225-06:002014-12-01T21:13:09.225-06:00Ugh, really Tate?

You want to propose sweeping changed to our educational system via a (drumroll please) task force?<br /><br />The speech was full of sound and fury signifying nothing. All he did was call CC an overreach by our federal government. Dear Tate: if you really want to hit home with the public school crowd, ask the parents of gifted children what CC brings to the table for them (that answer is nothing). Ask why the kids are tested once a month. Ask why elementary kids are no longer required to read books, but instead some website with archived "news reports" full of left-leaning opinions. Ask why the teachers can show 25 different ways to solve a math problem but the test only allows for one method plus a small dissertation to receive full credit. <br /><br />Let's be honest. For a vast majority of low performing public schools, CC will be a blessing of accountability (JPS and Delta districts, I'm looking at you). However, there are too many pitfalls for it to be successful nationwide. For those that can afford it and are paying attention, they will choose to vote with their feet. Ultimately public schools will further segregate and/or experience a brain drain.
