Dreams of their children.
We are NOT misinformed.
We know what the (CCSSI)Common Core State Standard Initiative is and we REJECT it!
This Initiative of reforms includes untested standards, privacy issues created through data mining, unconstitutional mandates for adherence to a national curriculum and a standardized test (PARCC).
All are in direct violation of the rights of parents in the State of Louisiana. According to the Louisiana Children's Code Preamble: "Parents have the paramount right to raise their children in accordance with their own values and traditions; that parents should make the decisions regarding the educational, moral, ethical, and religioustraining of the child."
We will NOT SUPPORT any
elected official that continues
to support the Common Core State Standard Initiative,with votes or
donations.
Therefore, wedemand Governor Jindaland the State Board of Elementary andSecondary Education withdraw from the CCSSI and its PARCC testingconsortium.

STOP Common Core from destroying our children's future!! I refuse to have my 3rd grader take the PARCC test! John White needs to listen to the citizens of this state or go back to where he came from! The 10th Amendment is being broken; federal government over-reach has gone too far!!
Please put a stop to this mess! My child has never failed or flunked out of any subjects, and this is causing my child emotional tirnoil and sense of failer in himself. I, myself, a college graduate, can not successfully help my child in the ways required for him to learn and excel in this manner.
STOP COMMON CORE!!! My child is NOT COMMON! She once loved school! She hates it now. My banner roll kid is no more bc of common core! Seriously thinking of private school.
It's sad when parents can't help their children with math homework. I am a nurse and can't make any sense of 2nd grade math. Kids should just know their math facts and not have to explain how they know the answers.
This program was not fully developed and is lacking proper review by specialist's in child development and education. Children are unique and one size does not fit all.
Work smarter not harder. Bring back basics !
It takes way too long and it's very time consuming. Kids have no time to be a kid and play when home. It's hsrd to cook bc I'm running back and forth having to learn how to do the math and teach my kids bc the teacher sends home guide to make us teach them. It's a waste of time when a problem that takes a few seconds takes 15 plus minutes. I do math every day for the past 11 years at my job and common core is not the real world.

I am embarrassed to say that it was Rapides Superintendent that spoke in Baton Rouge for Common Core. The ONLY one in the state. I assume he wants in on the money coming in from Gates, Walton, etc foundations pushing Common Core and Charter schools. Look at New Orleans......
