ROADMAP TO UNDERSTANDING COMMON CORE - PREZI PRESENTATION
What isCommon Core?
EVIDENCE OF NATIONAL TAKEOVER.
Anyone who tells you not to worry and that you just don’t know all the facts, is someone who either hasn’t looked at the evidence and is blindly following what they’ve been told, or is intellectually dishonest.
It shows that President Obama dangled a seductive carrot in the form of Race to the Top grants to get states to play jackpot with our money and after inserting the million dollar coin came up short.
There is still time to right the ship if we act now and get our leaders to take action to reverse this power grab and keep control of our education system. THIS IS ASTATES' RIGHTSISSUE.
*** PETITION ***
Weask the Governor, State Board of Education, and State Superintendent to immediately take the steps necessary to rescind Common Core adoption,PARCC membership, the Race to the Top application, the No Child Left Behind waiver, and all other requirements upon the state that are related to these.
Second,We request theLouisiana Attorney General to review all documentation related to such applications and contracts as mentioned above to ensure our state sovereignty is held inviolate.We further request that this review of programs, documents, and applications, include an examination to ensure no private or personal information about students is transmitted outside of local schools and districts.
Third, inasmuch as theLouisiana State Board of Education adopted Common Core State Standards before they were even finalized, failed to perform a cost analysis related to statewide adoption, and failed to hold public meetings , we consider the standards "null and void".
Fourth, give individual schools and districts full local control with the ability to adopt their own curriculums; choose their own personnel; decide on their own text books, testing, discipline policies free from standards, assessments, and research-based curriculum; thus, providing REAL opportunities for parents to have actual choices in deciding on schools for their children.
Fifth,We request that legislators develop a 5-year plan to getLOUISIANA off all federal funding of education, and if the federal government threatens to pull non-education related funding away from the state as we pursue this course, that this knowledge should be made public and fought with the assistance of the state Attorney General.
Sixth, We ask that the State strengthen privacy laws and make sharing of personal student data with any state or federal entity a crime both for the one disseminating and the recipient who requested personal information
Sincerely,
Concerned Citizens of Louisiana
Petition will be sent to the Governor, State Board of Education, and State Superintendent. (Date to be announced)

Please LISTEN to parents and find a way to make Louisiana education OUR decision. Common Core is not working for my kids that Learn Differently as most call Learning Disabled. It is not in the child's best interest and that's what we're fighting for here, right?
My head is spinning after trying to help my daughter with Common Core math---absolutely absurd the methods used to do simple addition and subtraction. It' s fired me up! Where do they come up with this nonsense? I feel like she's actually being hurt academically.
Our children DO NOT stand a chance with this common core. Its too hard and too much to take in way to fast. THEY DO NOT HAVE TIME TO LEARN ONE THING BEFORE MOVING ON TO SOMETHING ELSE. PLEASE STOP COMMON CORE. GO.BACK TO HOW THE STANDARDS USE TO BE.
Until this year my son was an ABC student. This year he is a BCD student. He has a D in math currently and I'm tired of seeing computer test scoring. I don't mind practicing concepts on the computer but tests should be handwritten. When kids go to college they take handwritten exams.
Common core does not work on the fundamentals. Both kindergarten and first grader are very discouraged which causes more behavior problems and a total lack in excitement about education. Children who struggle fall even further behind with common core

I'm tired of a one size fits all curriculum, that makes learning way more complicated and frustrating for students, parents, and teachers. Also, math should be the the simplest way to reach an answer...not endless different diagrams and methods just to add numbers.
