Uh-oh. Suburbia seems to be turning on Common Core. Video. [View all]

I believe it's Melville, LI... which I believe is in Nassau County ( NYC suburbs). This must be getting embarrassing for State Ed Commissioner John King ( three years teaching exp in a charter school kindergarten. Actually, one year in an actual classroom). He boxed himself in by promising to do these town-forum type things to sell CCSS but each appearance is more disturbing than the one before it.

Do you suppose there really is a "Common Core Syndrome"? I mean, I have no doubt that kids are unsettled by it but are they actually seeking out psych help?

The other geniuses on the panel are Meryll Tisch ( President of NYS BD of Regents and King's boss ) and a State Senator Flanagan ... who I think ( and hope) is a Republican.

Not that it matters on this issue. Neither party seems to be getting it.

Could it be $$$$?
