“No more Common Core” Symposium this Saturday in Vineland!

They are only permitted to program students to obey instructions and repeat what they are told. Teacher pay and promotions will soon depend on how well students do on standardized tests that measure how much of a national agenda they have absorbed. Every year, there is less time, less place, and less money to teach history, literature, mathematics, science, creativity, invention, or most importantly, independent critical thinking. This is happening now and will continue?unless we act now to stop it.
