FATHER OF COMMON CORE NEW COLLEGE BOARD PRESIDENT

FATHER OF COMMON CORE NEW COLLEGE BOARD PRESIDENT
David Coleman, mastermind of the Common Core Standards, was named President of the College Board last week. As predicted, this will put him in the drivers seat to implement the Common Core dynamic into the College Board national tests. The handwriting is on the wall for private and homeschooled students subject to college tests such as the SAT. The Common Core Standard of arriving at mathematical answers as well as science and history driven texts will be dramatically altered from previous norms and will even require that public school teachers go through rigorous re-education to teach these new standards. 

In addition, it has been announced that the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) for college entrance will be revised under David Colemen's watch. In competition with the ACT for years, the new SAT president has the responsibility of making this new test a better option than the ACT, if the SAT is to stay ahead of the competition.  What better way to do that than to change the Core Standards of education by federal mandate, and then to preside over the changes that will be made to the SAT in compliance with COMMON CORE STANDARDS.  Anyone smell a rat?

In the article regarding the new SAT test, Coleman says: "The next changes would help students and colleges by "focusing on a core set of knowledge and skills that are essential to college and career success; reinforcing the practice of enriching
and valuable schoolwork; fostering greater opportunities for students to make successful transitions into postsecondary education; and ensuring equity and fairness."

Americans who are interested in States rights and fairness in the implementation of education to young minds, should arm themselves with information about the facts relating to COMMON CORE STANDARDS.
