A direct quote.
I Recently learned that my district is going to lay off 70 teachers next yr to buy computers for CCSS. Sad that not one organization has had the balls to come out in opposition to CCSS. Sh!t is totally phucked up.
Priorities anyone?
A brief note on the #ccss from a trusted source

Districts can’t have it both ways. We’re going to have to rob Peter to pay Paul. No current amounts of RTTT money will compensate for it all. Even if we assume a conservative $1.5 billion price tag, that’s roughly $300 million per state. But again, do these things ever go under budget?
Sadly, this is likely to be the first of many such CCSS induced lay-offs.
