		<description><![CDATA[Abraham Lincoln measured by common core… introverted, shy beyond a 
fault, non communicative, unapproachable due to a near catatonia, 
unattractive in social settings, catatonic, unresponsive to 
hypotheticals, undriven to any decent purpose, uninvolved, introspective
 beyond a fault, unusable in team environments, possibly socially 
damaged, undriven or uninspired, overboard in questioning and answer 
seeking, motivated by nothing, querying little, over querying when 
querying, opinionated, sad, morose, unsocial, unattractive, bad genes, 
unusual and unwelcomed in social settings, ……

       You get the idea, Common core can miss everything God hides in 
people which must be incubated over a greater period of incubation. 
Common core is mans lecherous pursuit to vainly assign worth by  
behavior in mundane circumstances driven mostly by an already 
established juvenile setting whereas most people aren’t released as 
adults until a far later period in their lives. This is corporate abuse 
of immature stages of life for deployment into irrationalities and life 
long grooming to executive wishes. This is an abandonment of freedom to 
crows pecking your eyes out starting at birth.]]></description>

A recent NYT article reports that legislation is being introduced in the CA Senate that will force the states colleges and universities to give credit for third-party courses taken by students online.

		<description><![CDATA[The most salient point I took from your account is that 1/3 of your students should not have been admitted.  I&#039;m afraid I agree. 
 
It&#039;s a truism that a college degree is he new high school diploma. College simply isn&#039;t for everyone--including some of those who don&#039;t do too poorly in it. 
 
My big theory is that the country, and the world, changed so rapidly and drastically through the 20th century, we&#039;ve barely begun to deal with the fallout from that. We are stuck with an education system built for agrarian children at the end of the 19th century. We nostalgically laud the &quot;classical&quot; education once only the province only of the very privileged--but few really want to go back and drudge through the classics. The liberal arts, just like the sciences, haven&#039;t been &quot;watered down&quot; so much as &quot;added to.&quot; Information exploded in the 20th century. 
 
I&#039;d like to see a complete, radical re-imagining of the concept of high school. I think there should be a heavy vocational component. I think there should be some form of voluntary tracking. I think there should be other degrees of training that make a candidate hire-able other than a college degree. We force a lot of people to sit still and memorize stuff they&#039;ll never truly remember when we could be teaching them how to put together an engine or build a house. Those things incorporate math and science and teach marketable skills without having to force-feed them abstractions. ]]></description>
