We experienced a traumatic "meltdown" today with my 5th grade son who has Dyslexia. He is supposed to be in a remedial math group, but they apparently have to be taught the same math at the same level now. The overwhelming amount of work to be done for one problem was too much for him. It was a word problem. They had to draw a picture to demonstrate it, write a number sentence/equation, and make a written explanation of the problem. I felt so sorry for him. I had to go pick him up he was so distraught that he could not keep up with it.

Did you know that students in New York are being diagnosed with "Common Core Syndrome"??? Click here to watch this video of a New York teacher telling how children are being harmed:
"I’m a teacher in the state of New York...And I’m here to report that we are abusing children in the state of New York. There is now a common core syndrome. Do you understand what that means? We have children that are being diagnosed by psychologists with a syndrome directly related to work they do in the classroom. If that’s not child abuse, I don’t know what is." Thank you for hearing our voices.
