Three teachers from Bathesda Elementary in suburban Milwaukee are proposing to take Common Core to a whole new level, by having parents implement the standards at home.
The teachers, writing at their “Our 5th Grade Blog!” said, “While Common Core is no longer new for us, it is a good to re-visit how it has strengthened learning in the classroom. Additionally, it is important to have our families understand how things look and ways to support the Common Core at home.”

Kids like structure and bluntness. They like being told that mom cares enough to keep them safe. No means no. That's reassuring. That means that mom is the same today as yesterday. She still means no. She still gives a damn.
