Louis C.K. - Tweets About Common Core lyrics

My kids used to love math. Now it makes them cry. Thanks standardized testing and common core! "Why night you want each picture to stand for more than 1 balloon?" Yet again I must tell my kid "don't answer it. It's a bad question" Sorry. I sit with my kids as they so their HW they devour knowledge. When it's hard they step up. Their teachers are great But it's changed in recent years. It's all about these tests. It feels like a dark time. And nothing is going in anymore. It's this ma**ive stressball that hangs over the whole school. The kids teachers trying to adapt to these badly written notions. these questions btw were not written by her teacher. they were on a standardized test. written by pearson or whoever the hell Okay I'm done. This is just one dumb, fat parent's POV. I'm pissed because I love NYC public schools. mice, lice and all. I never said that CCSS is all bad. But in NYC it wasn't rolled out, but adopted through High stakes poorly written tests. CCSS. It's a new program. why defend it aS perfect? Why let poor test writers profit and tell parents and teachers they are "wrong". Teachers are underpaid. They teach for the love of it. Let them find the good in cc without the testing guns to their and our kids heads. I trust a teacher over Pearson or bill hates any day of the week. Don't all be so defensive and don't be such bullies. didn't mean to write Bill hates. I meant to write "doody faced rich guy". Oh just kidding. Alright I'm done. Go ahead and rip my head off.
