Common Core anger triggers homeschooling surge

While the sputtering economy is the reason families are choosing homeschooling over private schooling, the nationalized learning experiment (Common Core) is the main reason families are leaving the public schools in the first place.
“Common Core is a big factor that I hear people talk about,” Beth Herbert, founder of Lighthouse Christian Homeschool Association, told NewsObserver.com. “They’re not happy with the work their kids are coming home with. They’ve decided to take their children home.”
In-the-know parents understand that Common Core’s plodding approach to math instruction leaves students unprepared for college study in STEM courses – science, technology, engineering and math.

Indeed people, get your children taught truth and facts before the government destroys their brains. Later in life it almost becomes too late unless you raise a child to think for themself. Otherwise, they are done, cooked, baked into the indoctrination of the Jewish criminal cabal running America and all the publishing companies writing the books.
