How many of you can already see that our educational system is made up of tyrannical liars who do not want what is best for our children? All they "teach" our children are lies, lies, lies, and more lies. Don't feel sorry for teachers who claim that without them children would not be able to read, write, or learn, because we can learn everything on our own just fine, when we are ready. If you research on your own, then you will be able to see and get this fact. We do not need people in our lives who will manipulate information to serve a certain purpose for certain people. Common Core was a terrible curriculum and teachers did little to stop it from being "taught" in our schools. Before you comment, be sure to look up the history of education in America and what it was used for. Massachusetts (the first state to require children go to school) forced children into school in 1852, via gun point. Doesn't that sound like a happy, healthy start?
