I'm getting on my soap box for a minute...Common Core!

Since I'm not in the classroom right now I've had a lot of time to look at all of the buzz around the implementation of the Common Core. It appears that people are not happy. Well hello  I have been saying this for a while now!  This is going to set our children back once again! We have been taught that all children learn differently i.e. differentiated instruction, but now teachers are supposed to teach how the common core tells them. Doesn't that go against everything you have been taught as a teacher! Why would you go to school to learn all of these strategies to help kids learn but then when you get out you need to throw all of that out of the window and do what the Common Core tells you. It's all an experiment at the expense of our children and our teachers. How many will lose their jobs because of this value added and performance based pay? If teacher can't teach to the students they way they need to be taught then their performance will be low and then well I don't have to spell it out but good teacher will be gone because of the Common Core! What were these people thinking! Ok, that's all!
