This blog is a place to keep current with news regarding Common Core and SBAC without having to wade through the editorials inherent in Facebook groups. I try my best to do the wading for you; all links are actually relevant to parents in Connecticut. I also belong to a closed Facebook group of Connecticut teachers, and sometimes share things I read there. Once in a while I share my own experiences, and occasionally I do manage to connect some dots, or at least raise some pertinent questions.

The Words of CT State Representative Penny Bacchiochi
Education is the foundation to the future of our state. If we are implementing standards that so many teachers, administrators, school districts and parents disagree with, then we are doing more harm than help. The state’s Common Core standards need to have public and professional input – something they never saw during the administration’s decision to move forward with it.
~ CT State Rep. Penny Bacchiochi

Comments are very welcome, but are moderated. Please keep in mind that this blog is specifically for dissemination of information that is free from political affiliation bias and uneducated fear mongering. Comments containing either will not be approved.
Additionally, although you may know me from Facebook, and I am not shy about who I am, because I do share personal experiences here I ask that you respect the privacy of my children by refraining from using my real name. Comments that use my real name will unfortunately not be published.
