MA parents, grandparents, and former educators
have formed Common Core Forum (CCF) – a new organization
dedicated to enlightening the public about the proposed Common
Core States Standards program, usually referred to as Common
Core(CC). The Common Core Forum is a statewide non-profit,
non-partisan group which does not accept donations.
The Common Core initiative, if fully implemented, will federalize
America’s public educational system. Although Massachusetts is
already leader in standardized student test results, Common Core will…
eliminate local school control; replace it with Federal control; force Massachusetts to spend $ millions to LOWER its standards; and dramatically increase data gathering and the monitoring of all students
Common Core Forum’s informational series begins on June 9th
with Dr. Duke Pesta, Professor of English, University of Wisconsin,
Oshkosh. Dr. Pesta has spoken
about Common Core to over 100 groups within the past year.
For more information, and opportunities to get involved in the
Common Core Forum, visit: CCF’s website www.commoncoreforum.org or find us on FB. CCF is also on Twitter
@CommonCoreForum.
