Then remove the requirement for them to have to service the midwest, and that they can service only the areas they want. That is not a problem with amtrak, that is a problem with congress.
Now you are moving the goal posts. You said subsidized.
also Airlines get free security, bailouts, and just general subsidies, without which they would not be able to stay in business and survive on its own.
Almost 1m people PER DAY is almost no one? Also what makes amtrak organisation idiots? Just because you dont like them?
Why dont you go pay for your own raods, schools, airplains and everything else? Because without the infrustructure our nation would not be as great as it is.
We know what caused the crash, we do not know what was responsible for the cause. The PTC, however, would have prevented the speed, therefore, the crash.
Also ineffective means it would not have done what it is supposed to do. If it would have prevented the crash as designed then it is effective. It may not be the best to prevent other types of incidents, and a tool may exist that could stop both types of incidents, but that does not make it ineffective at doing what it is designed to do.
And how exactly does that counter his post? It does not mention if the bee population is bouncing back in Europe, or not. I mean if you are going to call someone a moron atleast try to counter his arguments.
That summary does not support your argument. It does not mention anything about ways of performing addition, it talks about using addition in different ways, exactly what I stated, and the complete opposite of what the AC was arguing. In fact the summary was just a scaled down version of exactly what I said.
Actually, as outlined in your link, creation of the assessment is done by 3rd parties, not the common core initiative:
Will common assessments be developed? Two state-led consortia, Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (Smarter Balanced), are currently working to develop assessments that aim to provide meaningful feedback to ensure that students are progressing toward attaining the necessary skills to succeed in college, career, and life. These assessments are expected to be available in the 2014-2015 school year. Most states have chosen to participate in one of the two consortia. For more information, visit the website of your state’s assessment consortium. Two additional consortia, working through the National Center and State Collaborative Partnership and the Dynamic Learning Maps Alternative Assessment System Consortium, are developing a new generation of assessments for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities.

I HAVE read it and you are 100% incorrect. That does not dictate how to lean addition.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.1
You are asked to solve word problems using addition and subtraciton under 20.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.B.3
You are asked to learn the commutative and associative properties of addition
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.5 You compare adding to counting
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6
You are taught to start using grouping
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.D.7
You are taught to use equalities
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.D.8
You are taught to use equalities to solve unknown variables.
None of these standards talk about a way to teach addition, they are all how to use addition, or comparing it to something else. It is a step by step approach to what is needed to learn addition, and covers what most 1st graders learn.
Of course this dad, who apparently has an EE degree, and the vast majority of the readers fail to actually READ the assignment. The math does not work, and that was the point of the assignment, to find the error in how the student did the work, not try and solve it in the incorrect way the student used. BTW, the student did not separate the 1s and the 10s, and had to many 1.
. Or even worse... to put the responsibility for defining the actual content of lessons, and the criteria by which students get lablelled for the rest of their lives, into the hands of a businessman who's priorty is continually proven to be corporate profit and social engineering to that end (regardless of how well he hides it behind a facade of charity)
So kids are only awake for 11 hours out of the day? They sleep for 13? Schools also have very limited ability to discipline students. How do you make a group responsible when they have little or no control over what they are responsible for?
I am 39, way too old for common core, however I have always been poor at spelling. Math and logic great, spelling poor. However you were able to read it just fine I am sure, and this is the best argument you could come up with.
Common core does not teach to the test, no child left behind does. Common core does not meantion in any way testing, or how a student must learn. Schools in my area do not buy any books, they make the common core lessons themselves.
There were no federal mandates on common core. This is an outright lie by conspiricy theorists.
The curriculum is developed at the state/local/school level, with most of it at the school level. My bother, who teaches math2, helped develop them for his school and the surrounding schools. There is nothing that mandates a curreculum in common core or at the federal level, again out right lies.
The "new" math skills being taught are in general the most efficiant way to do math, particularly when a calculator, or paper is not handy.
As for innnercity schools that seems to be more of an issue with lack of parental ovesight than with school administrators. When parents are so busy working making minimum wage in a single family situation it becomes impossible to keep track of your kids regularly over time, and the kids wander. Schools are not baby sitters, but in innercity schools particularly they are treated as such.
Exactly, the media, particularly the conservative media, has a hard time seperating that there are 3 independant things to common core, the standards, the implimentation and the testing.
Common core is just a set of standards that says you need to know X before you move to the next grade.
Implimentaiton is how the teachers do it, however the books used, if any, while designed to teach that standard are not required. Teachers can use the books, develop their own lessons or any combiniation of the two. This is what people seem to have issues with, and seem to want to attribute it to the standards themselves, however without the standards this is still the same implimentaiton that would be used.
What standard are you talking about? Education, especially in today's world is paramount to the average person's success, not the few million and billionaires who bypass it is the exception not some new rule.
Government based sudent loans already have the security of never being discharged, and they can take your tax refunds and garnish your wages, therefore there is plenty of security there already without having some sort of credit worthiness standard like other loans have.

Say what? Airlines get massive subsidies and are in fact less efficient at their jobs than trains.

Where does it mention the Larson B ice shelf in either of those? You do realize that it does not make up the entirety of the antarctic right?
And how exactly does that counter his post? It does not mention if the bee population is bouncing back in Europe, or not. I mean if you are going to call someone a moron atleast try to counter his arguments.
However again CC does not specify the curriculum, the state/local/school does.

It does not mention anything about ways of performing addition, it talks about using addition in different ways, exactly what I stated, and the complete opposite of what the AC was arguing. In fact the summary was just a scaled down version of exactly what I said.
That does not tell you to teach addition in different ways, here is a breakdown of the rules
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.1
You are asked to solve word problems using addition and subtraciton under 20.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.B.3
You are asked to learn the commutative and associative properties of addition
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.5
You compare adding to counting
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6
You are taught to start using grouping
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.D.7
You are taught to use equalities
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.D.8
You are taught to use equalities to solve unknown variables
You can also test multiples of these with one question.

No, these are parents with a tentative, at best grasp on the subjects themselves and lashing out. The biggest one I have seen
http://www.ijreview.com/2014/0...
Of course this dad, who apparently has an EE degree, and the vast majority of the readers fail to actually READ the assignment. The math does not work, and that was the point of the assignment, to find the error in how the student did the work, not try and solve it in the incorrect way the student used.

Common core does not do that.
I typically do, but tried grammarly, and it failed to connect so everything seemed ok.
that makes no sense, especially since the standards to not tell you how to teach things, although it may give examples.
Where do you get this from? Can you point a link to said standard?
So kids are only awake for 11 hours out of the day? They sleep for 13? Schools also have very limited ability to discipline students. How do you make a group responsible when they have little or no control over what they are responsible for?
