Why in the world is the federal government involved in setting nationwide education standards? Exactly where is that power given to the federal government? Don’t these people realize that you get the absolute BEST education outcomes when states are free to experiment/manage their own education methods and standards? We’re supposed to have 50 individual experiment labs (states) to have the best education results trickle to the top, to be copied by other states when found to be successful.
Central planners just can’t help themselves….they know what’s best for the entire country.

Please be aware and help spread the word that although Virginia rejected Common Core overall, it has been adapted in the Williamsburg James City county Public Schools. Everything on the website on web line is linked to curriculum 21 which is 100 percent Common Core. My son brought home “The Story of Stuff ” this week for science. Please help contact state legislature to pass laws to restrict Common Core in Virginia. Please help contact the local area school board and tell them it needs to be stopped in Williamsburg.
