I am a Lebanon, NH parent and am strongly against the computerized testing associated with Common Core. I also believe Common Core curriculum does not take into account the developmental stages of the youngest children, forcing them to use logic before they are ready and not encouraging memorization when they are naturally best at it. Common Core's focus on informational text instead of literature does a great disservice to our kids, preparing them to be cogs in the workforce machine instead of thinking, creative, fulfilled human beings.

No school should ever ask children personal, intimate questions, secretly...without their parents knowledge or permission ...or ability to even review... and store the information forever! Trust me, there IS a reason this is being done & it is NOT good!
