Mostly a rant about common core, probably no solution.

not really. Perhaps a curriculum knock. Teachers don't decide the curriculum, do they?

I withdraw the statement about the Constitution not being taught. It is included in the 9th and 10th grade standards that were revised in 2014.  However, it was not included in high school curriculum that was promulgated in 2006.

Even more interesting... N.J.D.o.E. website has a section on social studies curriculum that is only open to teachers employed in N.J. school districts. The rest of us who pay for it don't get to know what is in it. W.T.F.?

You didn't find what unicorns and rainbows said to be the least bit offensive to teachers??  

ETA:  My comment was based solely on what unicorns and rainbows said.  Otherwise, I think everyone has been absolutely respectful on this thread.

Rather than enjoy the spirit of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day, I guess the trolls have come out and decided it's "**** on Teachers Day" instead.  Happy Thanksgiving to you!

They are too busy teaching how awful the European settlers were to teach anything positive about the Constitution or any thing else related to America. 

I didn't see anyone shitting on teachers here (and as a matter of fact there was a teacher or two involved above) ...

Sorry you’re right.
