Before addressing the past week’s news events here in New York City, regarding Common Core testing and our public schools, since many parents are opting their children out of the Common Core tests to the disdain of big government and corporatists, note that the website United Opt Out was destroyed by hackers a few days ago. Screenshot below.

United Opt Out is in the process or rebuilding its site but their Facebook page remains up and running, OPT OUT OF THE STATE TEST: The National Movement. Opt out forms are available at Truth in American Education.

MOVING ON…

In spite of efforts by bureaucrats to squash the massive tide of parents opting their children out of this year’s Common Core testing and sending the police to the door of parents who do[i] across the United States, parents across America are holding the line and opting their children out in overwhelming numbers.

As reported by the NYDN, at least 70% of students in three Brooklyn schools opted out of last week’s exams.

…In Brooklyn, three schools — PS 446 in Brownsville, Academy of Arts & Letters in Fort Greene, and the Brooklyn New School in Carroll Gardens — each had more than 70% of students opt out of the tests, according to the advocacy group NYCpublic.

In Manhattan, nearly 50% of students opted out at Hamilton Heights Elementary School and 75% didn’t take the tests at the Institute for Collaborative Education, said Jane Hirschmann of Time Out From Testing….

Pro-Charter School Advocates and Parents Stand against Bill de Blasio’s Charter School Closings #Charterswork

Charters work

CapitalNY

The de Blasio administration has reversed three charter school co-locations that would have allowed Eva Moskowitz’s Success Academies to expand, even as it implements the vast majority of co-locations approved by the Bloomberg administration last fall.

Of the 45 co-location proposals that the Department of Education decided on today, including 19 charter schools and 26 district schools, just nine were reversed. All three of the charter-related reversals involved Success Academies.

Six district school co-locations were also reversed. The 45 proposals affect about 4,500 children….

The teachers’ union and de Blasio would say that it is all for the children, it is not. Bill de Blasio has a personal vendetta against Michael Bloomberg, Eva Moskowitz, founder of Success Academy and charter schools in general, all of whom are despised by UFT president, Michael Mulgrew and his membership.

Translation: The teacher’s union supported Sandinista Bill under the agreement that if elected, he would decimate charter schools.

Start by decimating the strongest, the best, and the schools that show the most promise and work your way down from there until all that remains are the devastated minds of youth are in shambles….

Bob Channin, NEA General Counsel – “It is NOT because we care about children” — It’s About Money & Power (2009)

For years whenever the United Federation of Teachers (NYC), the NEA or the AFT had to negotiate teachers’ contracts, the rhetoric was that “it was for the children.”

I often wondered since when is it beneficial for the children if the ADULTS are the ones reaping the benefits, better health insurance, higher pay, etc.  I always wondered how the hell is that connected to the children.

It appeared to me that the more they got, the more they demanded and all the while, OUR children were failing.

As the advancement of public school education deteriorates, our children are paying the cost yet all teachers and their unions could talk about is their personal gain.

They have the audacity to look us in the eye and say, “It’s for the children.”

Are they for real?

Ponder that for a moment ALONG with the fact that the only thing many of these teachers are good for is indoctrinating our children

Then listen to what Bob Channin, former General Counsel for the NEA had to say about it being all for the children.

This is clearly a matter of them telling us one thing while meaning another.

Makes you want to pull your children out of public school, send them to private school or home school them.  Either way, they would be better off.

Now ponder that and then do what is right FOR THE CHILDREN.
