ARRA News Service - Conservative pundit George Will delivered a fierce attack on Common Core last night, characterizing the educational standards as a way for progressives to further promote their political views.“This is a thin end of an enormous wedge of federal power that will be wielded for the constant progressive purpose of concentrating power in Washington so that it can impose continental solutions to problems nationwide,” Will said on Fox News’ “Special Report.”
He also warned Americans that the federal standards posed a significant threat to local autonomy.
“The advocates of the Common Core say, if you like local control of your schools, you can keep it, period. If you like your local curriculum you can keep it, period, and people don’t believe them for very good reasons,” Will remarked.

As a teacher of 24 years and a 3 time nominee to Who's Who of American Educators I AGREE with everything.George Will alluded to! And the Department of Education sold to America by President Jimmy Carter has changed only one thing in American Education. It has opened the door to federal control by way of money from the taxpayers directed to increasing monies funding education. With absolutely NO CHANGE in educational standards being met and a flat line on achievement increases. Throwing money at a problem never solves a problem it only inflates the cost of mediocrity!
