STOP COMMON CORE IN OREGON BY TIM MCMENAMIN STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Oregon schools chief Rob Saxton said he won't consider delaying the Smarter Balanced tests because that would lower expectations, deny parents and schools accurate information about how prepared students are for college and career and leave Oregon lagging behind other states.

COMMON CORE PART TWO BY BONNIE KIGGINS

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records, even from the parents. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. The Data Collection is done without parental consent. The collection is done with all age levels including personal data considered by many as an invasion of privacy. To receive more Federal Dollars Governor Kitzhaber got a Federal waiver on FERPA and HIPPA to merge your children's information into one large data base including the parents personal and financial information.

Common Core; your children will not survive in the global economy. Wake up folks...

It's been called "Satan's handiwork," and if you thought grade-school math was easy -- think again. Thanks to national Common Core standards, simple arithmetic isn't so simple anymore: bit.ly/1qFvtqX CHIME IN: Parents, do you agree?

OBAMACORE BAD TO THE CORE

Common Core was invented by a handful of Washington-based education"experts” five years ago and bankrolled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. But it took off when the Obama administration put $4.3 billion in state education grants called Race to the Top in the stimulus bill. President Barack Obama’s Education Secretary Arne Duncan made it clear the surest way for states to qualify was to adopt Common Core. Some states took it unseen, since the first grant applications were due in January 2010, and the standards were not written until months later. New York adopted Common Core in July 2010, in return for $697 million. All in all, 45 states signed on to a program that had never been tested in even one school. Contrary to what the public is told, Common Core is not about standards. It’s about content — what school kids are taught. In the social studies framework approved on April 29 by New York State’s education authorities (but not parents), American history is presented as four centuries of racism, economic oppression and gender discrimination. Teachers are encouraged to help students identify their differences instead of their common American identity. Gone are heroes, ideals and American exceptionalism.

Currently more than a dozen states are considering a repeal or a delay in implementation

What’s the Common Core debate all about? In April, we spoke to two sides on the issue: Oklahoma state representatives, Republican Jason Nelson and Democrat Emily Virgin. Common Core was initiated in 2009 by the nation’s governors, seeking national standards for math and English literacy. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan supported the move, spending $350 million to develop Common Core tests. More than 40 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the Common Core State Standards.

Oregon teachers union calls for moratorium on Common Core reading, math tests!!

Oregon's teachers union is calling on state schools chief Rob Saxton to cancel state reading and math tests in spring 2015 because it says the new exams Oregon plans to give are unproven and too hard. Giving them, the union says, would harm students by making most of them feel like failures. Saxton said Monday that he won't consider canceling the tests, which he acknowledged will be challenging, because they are geared to what Oregon students need to know to succeed in college and on the job. Saxton said he refuses to have Oregon lag behind all other states in switching to teaching and testing students according to the Communist Common Core State Standards.

Your 5 year old failed a standardized test. Therefore, he is stupid, insane, and doomed to a life of failure.

I’m going to grab you by the hand and drag you into hell. I am going to immerse you in a nightmare so hideous and horrifying that it will leave you stunned and gasping for breath.
I can certainly tell you that I wept when I read this recent op-ed in an Oregon newspaper. A couple of concerned bureaucrats report the"sobering” epidemic of kindergartners underperforming on standardized tests. Apparently, what these youngsters need is for government schools to be more"coordinated” and aggressive in seeing to it that they reach the arbitrary academic milestones imposed upon them by the Department of Education.

Flunk Factories The ugly truth about Portland’s high schools.

Portland’s four-year high-school graduation rate of 63 percent is 14 points lower than Beaverton’s, 12 points lower than Hillsboro’s and six points lower than Salem’s. That puts Portland at the bottom of the barrel in a state that has the fourth-lowest high-school graduation rate in the nation. Portland’s rate of graduating minority and low-income students is also worse when compared with other districts. The problem is not a lack of money. Portland’s per-pupil spending is, on average, 19 percent higher than the three other aforementioned Oregon districts’ and 24 percent higher than Long Beach’s."The bias toward alternative education and special-interest groups is actually cutting the programs that are working for diverse populations,” says Lainie Block Wilker, a Northeast Portland activist who has tried to reverse the district’s effort to drive students away from Benson.

Gov. Kitzhaber undermining rights of parents!!

Governor Kitzhaber has put himself in charge of Oregon’s Education System and Oregon’s healthcare network: the Oregon Health Authority. As a result of this double take-over, there is a Triple Threat to our children and their families. That threat includes the Network of School Based Health Centers (SBHCs); the grades K-12 Comprehensive Sexuality Education Standards that the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) promotes; and the Annual Adolescent Sexuality Conference in Seaside (ASC). And what makes this Triple Threat even more unreasonable is that the governor is using our money to pay for it!

Bonnie Kiggins Explains Common Core Part Two

Textbook content has been rewritten and most parents are unaware of precisely what their children are being taught and how twisted it is from history and fact. There has LONG been an intentional DUMBING DOWN of all children across America and the only way to combat it is to KNOW exactly what is being taught, then do battle with each board of education.

More Money, Same Problems for Oregon Schools

More Money, Same Problems for Oregon Schools More Money, Same Problems for Oregon Schools Instead of investing too little, Oregon schools have failed to invest their scarce resources in the right places, namely students and teachers. A major part of the problem lies in the hiring of an ever-increasing number of administrators and non-teaching support staff who are soaking up highly valuable but limited funding. A report released by the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice shows that Oregon had a 47.3 percent increase in the number of administrators and non-teaching support staff from 1992 to 2009. This astounding growth more than triples that of students and teachers, which only grew by 15.4 percent and 12.7 percent respectively. Oregon schools now employ more administrators and non-teaching support staff than they do teachers.

Oregon failed to earn transparency categories for per-pupil expenditures, total expenditure data, and average salary data.

A recent report gave Oregon an F- for financial transparency in education. How does Oregon compare to its neighbors Washington and California? Before people make financial decisions, most seek out information in order to make better choices. But according to a recent report by the Cato Institute, when Oregon voters are tasked with making financial decisions about K-12 education, they are hard-pressed to find the information they need, let alone interpret what is available.

Should parents be able to choose the school their child attends?

The Justice Department has challenged our state in court for having the temerity to start a scholarship program that frees low-income minority children from failing schools. In other words, Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder would rip children out of their schools and handcuff them to the failing schools they previously attended. And, in the ultimate irony, they are using desegregation orders set up to prevent discrimination against minority children to try to do it.

Portland Public Schools Sells Your Childrens Data To Rand Corp.

Hey Portland Public School parents, did you know that PPS has a revenue contract with RAND Corporation? What's that, you ask? Oh it means that PPS sells your children's data to RAND for a big fat sum of money. Data for profit. Did you know anything about it?

Kitzhaber Issues Statement on Timing of Potential Special Session

They are allowing the Federal Government to take over Education with this Data Collection. Land was given to the states for the states to control their own education. Where did it get off track? "When I speak to people and they say, "But, it's too late - we can't do anything!" I tell them that when I look back on this period in my life, and I had a chance to do something, I want to remember that I prayed and I tried to follow in what God wants me to do in this moment. That is all that I can do. And my children are watching! And my friends and neighbors are watching. When they see someone willing to stand, they will gather courage. We must show them courage!!!
