Common Core supporters don’t get what is driving the Common Core backlash.
American Principles Project’s Ed Director, Emmett McGroarty, totally gets it.
“The Common Core movement has become one of today’s most potent political phenomena. To understand it though, one has to empathize with the moms who are driving it.
The typical mom activist puts her children to bed and then sits down, often times for hours at a time to study research and correspond with other activists, psychologists, attorneys and even university professors of mathematics and literature.
There is a good possibility that before she has never stepped into the public square. But she is informed, super-savvy, and driven by her love for her children.”
YES.
