But teachers/districts could and are choosing not to…connecting this to CC seems to miss the point and ignore the problem completely. Bad teaching is bad teaching and professionals should have the ability/awareness to do better.

“Common core's been around for so long now that it's successfully disrupted a long tradition…of teaching books in schools” Seems like CCSS are getting blamed for books not being taught. It’s an issue to blame the “standards” as it promotes helplessness and excuses. Know better, teach better.

That’s a College Board issue more so than a CC one, no? Also, isn’t that due to lang having an emphasis on writing, whereas lit is an emphasis on reading? Regardless, teach the kids what they need to be successful. I don’t feel like acing an AP exam is a very worthy venture or a measure of success.

Where is Pritzker in this? He tries to talk tough, but it’s state police and DOC coming to aid ICE and attack peaceful protestors.

School teach books…have since CCSS were adopted. I’m legitimately confused by this assertion. I have yet to see an ELA class, grades 6-12, that did not read and study entire novels throughout the year.

Where do CCSS say we can’t teach books? This seems like a very strange take? Every school I have worked in the past 13 years has taught whole novels. Stop blaming standards and teach the damn kids.

Based on their actions, sure. But no reason they HAVE to be.

Agreed. This is what SHOULD be happening at a minimum for every interview.

I’m saying independent/journalist/media organizations. I.e. White House Press Corps

All lies should receive pushback, any resistance to the pushback should immediately terminate the interview/discussion. How dare you go on a news program and refuse to engage with their protocols? Aren’t their multiple unions and organizations in place to support just this kind of approach?!

Methinks they don’t care or are too dumb to understand. This does not improve because someone’s belief
has been challenged and changed. That page has been turned. It’s a war of attrition at this point.

This dude should’ve hung it up like 15 years ago. But tbh, Chapelle Show didn’t age well either. Kinda dumb as hell.

Was she apologizing for selling out educators to the AI vultures?!

Maybe this needs to be attempted by Dems or the hosts of these “news” programs. Louisville, KY(14th) has a higher murder rate than Chicago (22nd). Not data I would value highly myself, but how can these people get away with blatant lies and fabrications.

Where are these people who have faith he can deal with Trump? The only ones optimistic about that are Trump supporters.
