We Must Continue The Fight To Keep Common Core Standards Out Our Children’s Life – Oregon Parents Pull Children Out of Common Core Math

Not only does Common Core invade the upbringing of our Children and take it out of our hands, but teaches them such things as Planned Parenthood, Same Sex Marriages and Gay relationships, Abortions, and so on.  We can not allow our State Legislation and the Liberals to push the intrusive teachings on our Children against the will of the Family Circle.  I don’t need to have my step son raised on the teachings of the Liberal Agenda while I continue to teach him, that, the beliefs of Common Core go against everything I stand for….The Government has no right to tell me how to raise my children.

At Evergreen Middle School in Hillsboro, Oregon, there is a new trend: Parents are pulling their children out of math class to home school math. While the principal attempted to downplay the number of families (saying it was 1%), there have never been that many parents pulling their children out of school to teach a particular subject at home.

At the middle school level, and inordinate amount of time is spent integrating language arts into the math curriculum rather than extending the knowledge of mathematics. Many educational researchers have argued that this is not developmentally appropriate.

But the students that have been pulled out of math class are not the slow students. They are the A and B students.

Many common core critics have argued that the common core math standards simply slows down the amount of math knowledge attained and ensures that students will be unable to make it to pre-calculus at the end of high school.  Indeed, even Jason Zimba, principal author of the Common Core Math Standards, has said that the standards fall far short of producing students that are an internationally competitive  By keeping a child in the middle school math program, it ensures students will be unable to attain the degree of math proficiency needed in the international marketplace. These parents are clearly doing the right thing for their students.
