This video shows how Common Core State Standards hurt the schools, teachers, students and ultimately homeschoolers. It talks about its origins and who wrote and funded the standards. You may be surprised to discover that these standards were not written by educators and were not initiated by states but by private groups. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has spent over a million dollars to help create and propagate the standards. Companies such as Microsoft will more than recover the money they’ve invested through software, technology, and curriculum that this new education paradigm requires.

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
