In a recent article in Politico magazine, entitled “The Plot Against Public Education: How Millionaires and Billionaires Are Ruining Our Schools”, writer Bob Hebert gave an excellent breakdown of how the education reform began and who profits the most from it. As I’m sure we all know, it’s not the students or the teachers. Billions of dollars have been wasted on this “reform” with no increase in results over time. It all started with Bill Gates and has spiraled downhill from there.
Tonight is the Wilmington City Council meeting, and Delaware Secretary Of Education Mark Murphy will be in attendance to discuss the priority schools with the council. Someone should give each council member a copy of this article so they know what the true endgame is here.
I’ve posted a link to the article, and a big thanks to State Representative Paul Baumbach for posting it over on Delaware Liberal. The below quote are two questions that parents should be asking themselves at this point in time.
Those who are genuinely interested in improving the quality of education for all American youngsters are faced with two fundamental questions: First, how long can school systems continue to pursue market-based reforms that have failed year after demoralizing year to improve the education of the nation’s most disadvantaged children? And second, why should a small group of America’s richest individuals, families, and foundations be allowed to exercise such overwhelming—and often such toxic—influence over the ways in which public school students are taught?
The Season Of Myths 
The roots of Common Core goes to the Progressive Liberal movement to take over education system. They have ready taken the universities and colleges. The best information I have gotten is foundedontruth.com, Dr Peg Luksik’s website. I recently obtain the Heartland Institutes book “Common Core A Bad Choice For America”.
