Common Core
Posted by CarolSeer2014 11 years ago to Education
It's time to have the conversation about Common Core. What are your thoughts, Gulchers, about the innate evil in Common Core?
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

Wow. Thank you for sharing that.
Did you have rightwing ideological opinions before meeting him? Or was his influence part of changing your ideological opinions?
Then, you're just beating your chest for your group and calling names? I could say Bush was a master of whatever school-yard epithet they call people from the right. We beat our chests for artificial groups, get to be mean, and if we're lucky even get to make a scene at an event, but it doesn't do anything for the cause of liberty.
It's so different from his public persona of an intellectual. Do you gather this from his writings or did you know him before he ran for president?
Are you saying you swore at him metaphorically or literally? Way to go for being so candid. Most people going to those events are trying to get grants or just talk with other supposedly-connected people, so they're circumspect. What kind of event was this? What did he do when you went off on him? Was he polite prior to your criticizing him?
If the story is true, I think it's really cool.
My principles and his idiotology are intensely incompatible.
Yes. I intended to convey no sentiment at all about it. Machines doing work so people don't have to is a good thing. My point is a sudden appearance of a new kind of machine shakes things up and could cause people who ordinarily are not socialist to accept socialism. I want to get the benefits of new technology while avoiding socialism.
"Technology makes it easier for the gov't to spy on people."
Yes! And to share ideas with other people, not just ideas supported by large organizations and gov'ts.
It all socially progresses toward, freedom to dependency.
Yes, but it also makes it easier for the people to "spy" on the government.
"2) Automation is replacing many jobs..."
Yes, but you would have carry that same sentiment all the back to when the "evil" printing press "stole" all the jobs from the scribes.
