Common Core - have you researched what the Dem BoE put in our schools?

As we head into the voting booths on Tuesday Nov 5th 2013
We need to take into consideration what has transpired the past few years

One of those things is the drop in rankings of our public schools
What was put into place in Sept 09 that caused the grades to drop in June 10 & going forward so that Windsor Public Schools are now ranked so low? The question was posed earlier this year & went unanswered ....

Look at what has been done to correct that; not additional tutoring for students that are doing poorly but the lowering of standards for those who want to play in the sports (reward an F grade? with still being allowed to play?) 

Research what the Dems have pushed into Windsor Schools which has been fought & actively being fought by many states because the Common Core program is not only expensive but has dumbed down the students & lowered test scores even more; also what about the data-mining that is going on?

The North Carolina LT Gov Dan Forrest explains his concerns about Common Core & why the Common Core should not be leaped into

Dan Forrest raises many questions that the Democrat controlled BoE here in Windsor hasn't appeared to ask while pushing it forward on to our children

As you prepare to go into the voting booths maybe you should also ask some of the questions that the Superintendent of Schools in NY are asking - they are pushing forward to get out of Common Core

Ask why has Texas kicked C-Scope out of it's schools  - do a search on how many states have opted out, kicked out or are in the process of getting out of C-Scope & Common Core

Ask why so many states are either Opting Out of Common Core or fighting to do so - just like the LT Gov of NC is now doing

Vote for anyone that does not have a D next to their name & let's get Windsor schools back on the right track
