lol infowars
this woman's firsthand account of her life back in china is pretty interesting though, you can feel the raw emotion she speaks from the heart
Yawn! One person's account is hardly representative of a country. It would be like saying a yokel from the mountains of Vermont knows about Texas.
She lived under communism and is pointing out the parallels between their school system and today's common core
Of course there are parallels. That's why we want to schools to only teach math, reading, and other such materials and stop teaching things of agenda.
What does she say are the parallels?
It's about a 20 minute video there are a lot of them. You should watch if you're interested.
the US states developed Common Core but it's the same as communist schooling!you fricking Nazis, deeply and widely educated!

As someone who was schooled both in democracy and communism, the schools in democracy are way easier. Today's kids don't know how easy they have it...
Rofllllllll infowars
Op is a re ed shill
That's basically what she was saying, the curriculum was harder but they were politically brainwashed and encouraged to tattle on their parents and neighbors, and although the scores were high they were like robots and couldn't think critically. She went on to talk about China bacing zero nobel prizes compared to america for this reason. America is doing it all wrong because the kids are genetically inferior and the curriculum is still too easy and ain't got on China.
So it's nothing like China at all.
it's very much like china's education system just a little more dumbed down. it is federalized, centralized from the top down education written by the central government telling them what to teach and indocrinate our children with. they are not saying that the founding fathers were bad and telling children to go home and record whats in their parents medicine cabinets? there are actually a lot of parallels if you actually cared to know what the woman had to say. her story is worth listening to because shes lived in both worlds.

if you weren't you would watch just becuase of leanne RACKadoo
Did the federal government order that medicine cabinet assignment?
Yes or no.
The Chinese educational system is really almost nothing like the US educational system. I have personally seen the results in the classmates I had in grad school. Horrible at critical thinking.
Common core is built around it.
Little wonder someone like you would find it so alien.![]()
thanks but no thanks on your invitation to watch Infoporns.
Try inviting gtown over for your party instead.

Not knowing much, a quick search:
http://www.corestandards.org/about-t...pment-process/
Don't really know much about Common Core, and sadly, Lilly can't, or won't tell you about it:Development Process
The state-led effort to develop the Common Core State Standards was launched in 2009 by state leaders, including governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, two territories and the District of Columbia, through their membership in the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). State school chiefs and governors recognized the value of consistent, real-world learning goals and launched this effort to ensure all students, regardless of where they live, are graduating high school prepared for college, career, and life.
The standards are informed by:
The best state standards already in existence
The experience of teachers, content experts, states, and leading thinkers

She spends most of her time blathering about what happens in China, but can't seem to "connect the dots" to actually compare the Common Core to the Chinese system.fter I woke up one day realizing my whole life was a lie and I could never change China from a society ruled by men to a society ruled by law, I decided to leave China for America. Before I left for America to pursue a master’s degree, my Communist boss made me sign a paper to promise to return to my job after my graduate study or my file would be returned back to my hometown, Chengdu, in Sichuan Province. I was a law school assistant professor at Fudan University in Shanghai at that time, which is one of the top Chinese universities. Sending my file back to my hometown meant that I would lose my legal career forever and have a black spot in my file which would make it very hard to get another good job. I had to sign it in order for my employer to release me so I could apply for my passport with their consent papers. Even though I finally broke free from this tracking system by coming to America, I still feel sometimes that I am haunted by my secret file, which neither I nor my parents ever saw. When I did not return after my master's degree, I bet the file went back to my hometown, Chengdu, and it might be somewhere in a local security or police office today. Some immigrants from tyranny countries are afraid of speaking up in this country, I totally understand. But I cannot live in fear and I feel it is my duty as a new citizen of this country to tell the truth. I am so worried that "Common Core" will be used by the government and corporations for "data mining” of our children.
Some people are pushing for the education system to be like China because Chinese children score high on tests. In fact, Chinese children do not have much life besides studying and test taking. They do very well on tests because they are trained as test machines but they are miserable and stressed out. They are not taught to be independent thinkers. They are trained to follow and conform. They have too much homework every day, and they have to study very hard for long hours. They do not have much time for other activities such as sports, art, community service, etc. Many students become near sighted and have to wear glasses at a young age. Some become sleep deprived and depressed; their parents worry about their health but have very little control.
High school students are even more stressed out due to the once-a-year college entrance exams (three full-day nationwide exams), because if you do not pass them to attend college, your life is supposed to be ruined, you are a loser in society, you cannot get a good job to make decent wages, your family and friends will look down on you. Many of them take extra classes outside of school on the weekday evenings or over the weekends because of the pressure to perform and go to college. There are many cases of abuse and corruption in this huge industry of testing preparations. The working class parents have to save a high percentage of their income to spend on their children’s education. It is not uncommon for some high school students to commit suicide before or after the college entrance exams. If your child has a special educational need or is a late bloomer, you are out of luck. They will be left behind. The very rich today in China just send their kids to private schools and buy their way out, or send their kids overseas to study in college.
I do not understand why some people in America want our school education system to be more like China, unless the government wants us to become like China so everyone can be controlled and tracked. Some might think Common Core sounds wonderful, our children will be “global citizens”, “college ready” and “career ready”, but it still reminds me of the Communist Core I went through. A big and powerful government always has reasons and excuses for using force to make people do what they want, but in the end, it is always the ruling class and their cronies that benefit from these mandates, not the people.
The problem with claiming this is a "top down" thing forced on the states, is that the states were the ones pushing for some standards.
Watched it.
She didn't say there were any parallels, and provided almost no evidence of such.
You are using the statements and criticism of a woman who is a product of an educational system that discouraged critical thinking, and who obviously does not have any critical thinking skills, to vilify a set of educational standards... because she says they discourage critical thinking? Really...? Really...?
Seriously going to wear out the lmao smiley, sheesh.
I am, though, less interested in making someone foolish look foolish, than in getting to the bottom of something.
http://www.corestandards.org/read-the-standards/
There is a link to the standards. Maybe you can be a bit more specific as to what and how they are bad or whatever it is you want to claim they are.
Get cracking, oh chumpion of critical thinking.
What idiot thinks we all have nothing better to do, than watch 25+ minutes of someone else's favorite topic? If there is a point to be made, please explain it and give a pinpointed time to start watching it.
aren't you the guy who has some sort of complex about working as some technician and not actually in the field of science? funny you throw around the idiot word.
I agree, but it isn't because of democracy vs. communism. It's because we have too many liberal pussies in society. There is no good punishment, children are no longer held back in grades as they once were, etc. Policies have taken away almost all means of proper teaching.
Our high school graduates are probably no better educated than a 7th grader of the 50's.
Progressive policies are far from progressive!
lol coming from this guy
