Do these public officials think we’re stupid?
Tom Raffio, Chairman of the State School Board, and person who swears he sees no political indoctrination going on in the state’s public schools, objects to this proposed law.
Common Core optional? So why does Raffio object?
EDITORIAL from the NH UNION LEADER
A proposed state law making the Common Core school curriculum optional for each school district is unnecessary, claims state Education Board chairman Tom Raffio. Because, he says, the state isn’t requiring it now.
Really?
Then why does Manchester, for one example, complain regularly about being threatened with the loss of federal funding if it doesn’t abide by a testing program that is very much tied to Common Core? These are federal (meaning taxpayer) dollars, but the threats have been coming from the state education department bureaucrats that Raffio’s board ostensibly overseas.
