Florida School That Dumped the Common Core Program, Jumped To Number One in State!
We all agree that common core is the downfall of our education system. Common core was nothing more than government indoctrination by the Democrats to dumb down American youth so they would become dependent on the government for everything. That’s why like an apple, we must take out the core and throw it away only keep the good part.
Mason Classical Academy dumped the Common Core program in favor of traditional teaching methods and has since jumped to the number one position in Florida’s top school’s list, according to government statistics.
Principal David Hull explained in a letter: “There is, however, a serious conundrum we face as a classical, public charter school: Not only are we to use our own curriculum and offer a different choice than the regular public schools, but we are also mandated to pass the state test. This begs some questions. Which is more critical, a solid education or passing state tests? Can we accomplish delivering both? Is it ethical to focus more on state standards than a rigorous curriculum influenced by one of the most prestigious colleges in the world, Hillsdale College? Are we able to accomplish our mission with state mandates and Common Core breathing down our necks? Do we have our students practice for state tests on computers because tests are now computer-based? Are our students at an automatic disadvantage because we choose paper and pencil over keyboards and mice? These are difficult questions to answer, and ones that will be revealed only by time.”
“Thanks to the classical approach of phonics, an impressive 90 percent of the third-grade students at Mason Classical Academy were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to just 58 percent in the county overall, most of whom rely on Common Core. In fact, the MCA third-graders were in Florida’s top two percent, while fifth graders from the academy ranked in the state’s top one percent.”
“Common core children are not allowed to synthesize latent creativity, and they spend little time in nature. They also are not given an inspiring human mentor, as much as a by-the-book curriculum regurgitating ‘teacher’ who has also been dumbed down by the educational system. This person is more concerned, through their own educational brainwashing, to apply the latest psychological theories, without truly teaching a child to be on fire for learning.
Intelligence agencies also infiltrate the educational system in order to train and recruit future elite personnel. People are chosen based on their ability to follow orders, not diverge from the transhumanist agenda. Common core is a massive take-over of the educational system, similar to the takeover of the agricultural system, our water, our banking system, etc. In short, it benefits the military-industrial complex and a handful of corporations, not your children’s budding intellectual genius.”
On the campaign trail last year, Trump often denounced Common Core and promised a return to local control of education.
We have to revamp the way the entire public school system operates. Government control has created this nightmare of bureaucracy. Parents have allowed the system to raise their children, giving it way too much trust.
Common core was designed to indoctrinate our kids with the teachings of liberals and Islam. We must give the states and parents control of the education again! Having the federal government run is wrong and opens up the possibility of one or a few abusing it for the wrong reasons.

I am a witness to what was done in the 1960s. I escaped the “progressive” approach to reading, got old-school phonics and was an early and engaged reader. The best education I ever got was reading on my own from the books my 5-years-older brother brought home from his old-school Catholic parochial high schools (this included “1984” and “Catcher in the Rye”).
But just 2 years behind me in high school in a district where the “progressives” had taken over and imposed the “whole language” model with much less structure I met students were had been STUNTED FOR LIFE.
Sadly the same thing happened to me in math when I went to a new school for 5th grade where the “New Math” had just been imposed. A total catastrophe.
If you can find the Saxon math books get those. You can also access JUMP math online it’s pretty close to the “basics” the progressives never allowed their schools to get back to.
