CC gone away

The legislators in their infinite wisdom are now debating in the House Senate whether or not to do away with Common Core.

This measure will not be vetoed by Jan Brewer. The "people that make decisions about education" want for Arizona to decide what the standards should be and not have dictates come from the government. This is the state in it's infinite wisdom with the guidance of our legislators determined that all children have to read at a third grade level or not pass. Many districts have done away with reading intervention and reading teachers because they did not have the money. So now all these kids will be tested for special education to determine if a learning disability in reading is present. If there is a disability the child will pass. Are people wondering why education is so poor in this state? Are they wondering if charters could be the answer?

This measure will not be vetoed by Jan Brewer. The "people that make decisions about education" want for Arizona to decide what the standards should be and not have dictates come from the government. This is the state in it's infinite wisdom with the guidance of our legislators determined that all children have to read at a third grade level or not pass.

So now all these kids will be tested for special education to determine if a learning disability in reading is present. If there is a disability the child will pass. Are people wondering why education is so poor in this state? Are they wondering if charters could be the answer? We know that Jan Brewer loves to privatize certain functions so the state can save money. She gave her cronies the right to run private corporations to run jails. The cronies recently lost their private corporation to run jails because the jails were in deplorable condition. But she will allow more charters in so friends and cronies (Dennis Bakke and Imagine Schools) can run private schools. The corporations will use money tricks so that they make oodles of money and the children will not get the needed education.

Does anyone wonder why Arizona education is dead last? The state doesn't need future workers college ready or even able to think. Arizona wants to raise a state of learners to take orders and be caretakers for the elderly population. While the numbers of middle class people who pay taxes dwindles sharply the numbers of people making minimum wage rises sharply. Fewer and fewer people able to pay the taxes to take care of the folks who will never be able to support families. Why aren't there lobbyists at the senate educating everyone about what happens when education is ignored. I really do not understand this place at all. 1062 passed and then the legislators claimed they had not read it.
