Sid Glassner 2(Hour 3b, c) Senior Fellow Sid Glassner from the New England Society for the Study of Education believes President Obama has a forked tongue.  He quoted, critiqued and called out Obama comments he made at West Point.

Contradictory comments by the President and US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan only underscore what Sid defines as the “Great Hoax” of Common Core.  It needs to go.  Glassner shared news about teachers turning against it “state by state.”

Glassner is still reeling from last Monday’s Debate on Common Core and he explained why.

The Senior Fellow also educated us on the difference between “Decoders” and “Readers.”  What is the difference?  Does Common Core seek to do the former instead of the latter?

How important is reading (instead of decoding) in education and how do we measure the success, or failure, of reading programs?
