All week long on EWTN's Johnette Benkovic's show, "Women of Grace,"she's had Susan Anderson, an educator, explain to us about the Federal Common Core Curriculum that is being taught in Public schools. It has been a thorn in the side for many teachers, because it presents traditional material in varied and very difficult formats, making it very difficult for teachers to teach in the manner they're accustomed to. To add to the frustration, Spanish-speaking children are learning right alongside their English-speaking peers, which would be alright if the Spanish kids knew English! Unfortunately, they don't!
They even have Common Core in the parochial school system, which is even more unsettling, because it teaches things that go against what they are taught in their Religion class. There is a governmental indoctrination here that disturbs me to the core.
Instead of concentrating on academics, the government is concentrating more on social teaching and immorality. Only parents and those given the responsibility of teaching their children to learn ethics and morality, which are usually taught in a religious school setting, should be doing so-not any curriculum devised by the government, especially by those leaning to the Left!
We really need to take a stand and defend our children's right to all that is decent, wholesome, and true. Otherwise, they will never truly learn.
