Arne Duncan: ‘White suburban moms’ upset that Common Core shows their kids aren’t ‘brilliant’
[link to www.washingtonpost.com]


U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan told a group of state schools superintendents Friday that he found it “fascinating” that some of the opposition to the Common Core State Standards has come from “white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn’t as brilliant as they thought they were, and their school isn’t quite as good as they thought they were.”

True.
Most mothers think their little idiot is the smartest child in the universe.
In reality all children are slowly becoming dumber and dumber, whilst the government keeps up the illusion that they are bright kids.
In O'Bummer world,no kid gets left behind, because they are all as dumb as each other.

This president ran on a platform of unification and yet every time we turn around he or one of his henchmen is propagating division.

For gangster politicians, the ends always justify the means. If they have to call white women entitled bigots to get people to quietly accept their fascist school protocols, that's exactly what they'll do.

Re: Arne Duncan: ‘White suburban moms’ upset that Common Core shows their kids aren’t ‘brilliant’
There's something in what Duncan is saying.

I'm in NY and I have a kid who is really really good in school. I know this because I was really good and he's better than I was. Much better in English.

He was having trouble with the old NY state ELA (English Language Arts) tests because he couldn't figure out what the question wanted. He was getting scores of 3 (above grade level) but not 4 (distinguished.)

The new CC compliant test is longer and harder, but it's clear what is asked. Now he's scoring well up in the 4 range, as the districts's scores have fallen.

I really don't know what they were testing before, but it's not the stuff that served me well all the way thru school. Now it's more familiar to this old guy, WITH CC.

Sorry to have to burst your bubble of what you think brilliance is all about but here is goes! Brilliance is not about taking a multiple choice questionnaire. Brilliance is about figuring out abstract ideas! Want to bet you son could not pass a 1890's Kansas 8th grade graduation test? Fact is that most high school seniors could not pass that test because it's not multiple choice. You actually have to know the material to pass!

All a child needs is the three R's down pat and they will do well! Odd how a family in Alabama can get all their children in College by age 12 and flourishing but public school children are still struggling to make it past the 12th grade!

The truth in this comment is staggering. I am 26 years old, very young but in the brief time I have been out of lower education it seems to have changed drastically. My fiancee's 18 year old cousin is dumb as a box of rocks, thinks he's smart as all get out, no ambition to ever leave home or continue school and works part time and complains about it because he can't play on his playstation.

He's a welfare recipient in waiting and it drives me up a wall!

With schools getting worse and worse at actually teaching anything but propaganda parents must pick up the ball. But when the parents are brainless morons there is no one left to help the child. Commence eternal cycle of dependents.

Off topic. Neither test, as far as I know, was about figuring out abstract ideas. But from my impression of what my son said, the CC test was a bit more about that than the old one which was totally lame.

And by the way, my son would be able to do a lot of those Kansas questions as I remember. Some of the words he might have to google, but much of it he could figure out. You're not bursting anyone's bubble, I have a good idea what intelligence is.

It is possible to make a truly difficult multiple choice test. There was once a True-False exam in a graduate math course at MIT. The scoring was 1 for a correct answer, -1 for a wrong answer, 0 for no answer. You could get a zero by answering no questions, guaranteed.

The class average was NEGATIVE. And these were grad students in the MIT math department.

Re: Arne Duncan: ‘White suburban moms’ upset that Common Core shows their kids aren’t ‘brilliant’
I'd venture a guess that Common Core, like most of the Amurkin deaducation system, is there to teach kids to take tests.

I'm not sure what the value of learning to take tests is. Then again, school is for control freaks. Twenty years at a desk to prepare you for forty years at a desk. And all of those lovely ruuuules to follow!sheep

Some of the best wisdom I have heard comes from dropouts.

Actually white mothers (and any other mother who loves their children) are learning is that Common Core is not teaching their children the skills needed to become productive human beings.

When your child brings home a math test with a shiny star and "Great JOB!" hand written on the top of the page by the teacher and you start reading that test and realize that your kid had five or six wrong answers out of ten problems...You had better be asking, "Why the star," and why the, "Good job!"?

The child has NOT learned anything and the star tells him he doesn't have to...the teacher doesn't care so someone must...

Prior to joining the Chicago Public Schools, from 1992 to 1998, Duncan ran the nonprofit education foundation Ariel Education Initiative, which helped fund a college education for a class of inner-city children under the I Have A Dream program. He was part of a team that later started a new public elementary school built around a financial literacy curriculum, the Ariel Community Academy, which today ranks among the top elementary schools in Chicago. From 1987 to 1991, Duncan played professional basketball in Australia, where he also worked with children who were wards of the state.
