United to Counter The Common Core Agenda Through Mobilization

 

Nicholas Tampio, Associate Professor of Political Science at Fordham University, dicusses "Deliverology", the corporate philosophy behind the Common Core Standards, an essential manual which includes instruction on how to enforce such standards and battle resistance from parents, among other topics.  From the article "Barber ends the book by telling reformers to stick with their plans but acknowledge the emotional argument of opponets. 'I understand why you might be angry; I would not enjoy this if it were happening to me either.'"  Unfortunately the condescending tone of that statement is completely consistent with what parents and educators have been experiencing.
