Common Core with Kris Nielson on the Chalkface

Remarkable statement - truth matters not:

"It's exciting to see 45 states voluntarily adopting common college and career ready expectations for students -- it makes the U.S. globally competitive, is embraced by teachers, and is unleashing an avalanche of innovation. The new Common Core State Standards give all students a shot at college and family wage jobs." --Tom Vander Ark

Exciting?
Voluntarily?
Globally competitive?
Embraced by teachers??? - Master teachers are leaving because they know how damaging this is for children and teacher effectiveness.

Listen to Kris Nielsen take that statement apart @the chalkface radio here:
