Another
high school
student at Farragut High School in Knox County, Tenn. is receiving
widespread attention for an eloquent speech he made against Common Core
at a school board meeting.
This time the student, Kenneth Ye, gave a rousing speech before the Knox County
school
board urging it to drop the Common Core standards because they make
learning joyless and, in fact, turn American schools into something
approaching Chinese sweatshops.
“Our
schools
are being turned into data-run factories,” Ye charges around the 4:30
mark in the video, “factories based on speedily-approved standards that
are now being implemented around the country.”
Oh my goodness we need this young man in Washington !!!
