You can learn the facts, talk with parents and teachers at Americans for Prosperity Shoreline Chapter monthly meetings.
We share information about "Common-Core which has growing list of of parents,teachers,principals, and superintendent's opposing its testing, and its curriculum.

36 States bought into it. 15 of those have either postponed adoption so they can study it first; are planning to postpone or reject it totally.
The textbooks are tilted towards a very liberal viewpoint, with little regard for "truthful" history.
Cildren are given tests that require a degree of logical thought and understanding of processes,/ mathematics well beyond their age groups ability. If you are concerned, attend our meetings, information is available at bud_fay_8@hotmail.com
