From a brochure for a Common Core symposium

“The implementation of the Common Core State Standards presents countless challenges, and as a result, successful implementation depends on the resiliency and willingness of school staff to grapple with incidents of defeat.”

Eduhonesty: Dammit, you bastards! We are making the children of America into fodder for this latest test machine. THEY are the ones who will need resiliency as we pummel them with yet another test that most of them will find difficult, if not impossible. I may be wrong about this, but I fully expect the Illinois state test that will be our first Common Core experiment to be a general disaster. That’s my prediction.

I’d love to be wrong.
