Walker: Repeal
Common Core
Watch Dog – M. D. Kittle –

That was the response late
Thursday from opponents of the controversial Common
Core State Standards after Gov. Scott
Walker announced he wants Wisconsin
to do away with the nationalized education template.
Walker’s statement was short and direct.
“Today, I call on the
members of the State Legislature to pass a bill in early January to repeal
Common Core and replace it with standards set by people in Wisconsin,” the
governor said.
READER COMMENT:
Those supporters of Common
Core claim that Common Core is a huge improvement over the previous standards.
What they're really admitting is that they really didn't do anything to improve
education in Wisconsin
prior to Common Core. The new bill should include input from more than just the
DPI. Get real educators, not just those involved in theory, and PARENTS and the
broad community involved in formulating new standards. The DPI can no longer
make decisions for hundreds of thousands of children and local taxpayers paying
the bill. This process must be shared along with the decision. Tony Evers, by
not involving the legislature in the very beginning, has demonstrated that he
and his department cannot be trusted with this very important function.
