If you listen to the Facebook pages and rhetoric online you might think this video is the equivalent of a unicorn...granted the unicorn is in Boise...

Yes, actual support of the Common Core from teachers and administrators...and a common sense approach to the fact that transition is not easy and there are and will be obstacles but going backwards now does more harm than good.
I've been told from a hopefully reliable source...our BOE...that right here in Wantagh there will be a meeting in January, like the one that was held in Seaford last month...the goal, to educate the parents on the FACTS of Common Core, and hopefully discuss some of the benefits our teachers are seeing in their classrooms. Would be nice if people came with an open mind and not quoting youtube videos and inflammatory rhetoric from Diane Ravich...but that remains to be seen, we'll see.
