Common core...have you heard of it? Allegedly, some time ago, the government started to track all of us kids in the public school system. The intent was to track children through their school age years and use the data to help parents better understand the needs of their children and to help them be better prepared for college. But as with many things in the government, things have evolved and have changed from the original intent. Have you ever thought about all the forms with all the blanks that you have to fill in with your personal information? Where and who keeps that information.
Now in some bigger cities
schools, they even take your photo. Who gets that? To me it seems a little Big Brotherish. It's
been said that because of Common Core, someday the government will be able to
track us wherever we are. Some of those sci-fi movies may become reality. Someday,
the government will be able to say exactly how many blondes there are in the
school system, how many overweight kids there are, if you are from a low income
or wealthy family. They may even be able to tell if you are bored in class by
how much you fidget in class. If there
is such a thing as too much for our government?
Is there a point when we as people of the US will be able to say enough
is enough? President Obama's administration is in favor of Common Core so it
won't stop for a few more years.(322)
