Lake County Schools and Common Core (Florida Standards ) Issues Described by Daily Commercial

Jan. 4, 2014 Tavares, FL

An article on Lake County Florida Standards (Common Core) from the Daily Commercial.

Some good quotes but not much on a major issue, which is the child abuse caused by too complex standards for K-5 which is called "developmentally inappropriate" due to kids brains not developing yet to handle the concepts being taught. Many, many videos on YouTube by psychologists about this, plus others by early childhoold development specialists.

Additionally, it seems several quotes focus on eliminating "high stakes" tests which are used to evaluate teachers and set their compensation. Teachers don't want to be measured, so the two new teachers on the Board bring it up.

However, not as much about the excess testing of KIDS, and parents need to speak out.
