Bennett: #commoncore because Exxon-Mobile said so.

Thanks to Bob Sikes for bringing us a new defense for the common core. It seems that the Sun Sentinel was present at the Broward Workshop’s State of Our County forum on April 12 and got the pleasure of listening to Tony Bennet defend the federally imposed/market driven common core curriculum.

- The standards that are really a curriculum that will usher in an era of testing never before seen in the country.
- The standards not developed by educators.
- The standards that actually create a new education market for common core snake oil purveyors.
- The standards that are really national curriculum being forced down the throats of America’s public schools.
- The standards that are really a curriculum that have NEVER been field tested.
- The standards that are really a curriculum being driven by “faith-based reformers”
I love this new reason why American public schools must adopt the common core. Tony take it away:
