I must admit that I threw up in my mouth a little watching these.

First is a video of a song put together by the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) team of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District of Charlotte, NC. (HT: Terry Stoops)

 

Then we have this gem of a video created within for the West Mecklenburg High School staff in the same school district. Ā Your kids can’t read or write, never fear the Common Core is here! Ā It reminds me of the easy button.

 

HT to Gretchen of Missouri Education Watchdog who sent this to me via email.Ā  She said of this video, ā€œIt’s wonderful and magical.Ā  It will work in all areas and the rigor will be raised and all will be well.ā€Ā  I can just picture the eye roll.

ā€œI will embrace the common core without fear.ā€Ā  Is the line in this ā€œmotivationalā€ song about the Common Core State Standards.Ā  Come on teachers!Ā  Just believe!

 

Finally back to West Mecklenburg High School.
