Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Standardized Testing (HBO) - YouTube

40 Minute Video: Very enlightening
Tells us the truth about Common Core, what our government is not telling us!

1) Bill and Melinda Gates children go to a private school that DOES NOT embrace the Common
Core philosophy.
2) Common Core is NOT bench-marked! There are NO studies to prove that it works. Google it, there are plenty of Pro Common Core websites that say the standards are bench-marked but they do NOT list any links to show the studies. Reality: Our children are being used as guinea pigs. There is NO evidence that these standards work!
3) Dr. Milgramt and Dr. Stotsky were 5 out of the 30 member Common Core validation committee that would NOT sign a letter stating that the standards are bench-marked. They were the ONLY mathematician and ELA content specialist individuals on the committee. They have been speaking out to parents around the country and are in two of the above videos. The 30 member validation committee became a committee of 25, with NO mention of the 5 individuals that refused to sign the letter.
4) Our government keeps telling us that everyone approved these standards and the standards are bench-marked. THIS IS FALSE! An outright LIE!
5) Hidden in the race to the top money, states that colleges are not permitted to put students in remediation courses if the students passed a standardized exam, say the Algebra Regents. Remember with the Algebra regents a student who gets a 65% really got a 34% with a curve. Yet colleges can't offer these students remediation classes. Reality: College courses are going to become watered down, just like they watered down the regents in NYS!
This is the DUMBING down of our ENTIRE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM!
AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP!
