Editor’s Corner

There’s always something ex-citing about the first day ofschool, and last Tuesday at Mar-shall High School was no excep-tion.

There was this buzz, this energy in the air as stu-dents gathered in the four corners of the school re-uniting with friends and meeting new classmatesas the Albion-Marshall cooperative officially gotunderway.

Talking with some kids from Albion, they talkedof the excitement on the bus ride to Marshall aswell as some of the nerves that come from the firstday of school, let alone the first day of school at anew school in a new town.

But to walk in the school and hear the din of thekids’ conversations, things seemed like business asusual as they were talking about what they did overthe summer or what they wanted to do after school.

Kids just being kids.Beginnings are a time for fresh starts, and it

looks like the new start of this Albion-Marshall co-operative is headed in the right direction.

As legendary baseball manager Sparky Ander-son said: Good seasons start with good begin-nings.

So far, so good.Sure, there will be bumps in the road and unex-

pected challenges, but it looks like SuperintendentDr. Randy Davis and his team, that also includesfolks from Albion, have painstaking in their ap-proach and I believe that when this school year isat a close, the naysayers who said this arrangementwould never work, will be silenced.

Harold Nicholson, the late English diplomat, au-thor and politician once said that the “great secretof a successful marriage is to treat all disasters asincidents and none of the incidents as disasters.”

I believe this “marriage” of sorts between Al-bion and Marshall will be OK if all parties heedMr. Nicholson’s words.

As Principal Dan Luciani said on Tuesday: “It’sgoing to be an awesome year.”

Now time for my football prediction for thisweek’s home opener (Sept. 6) versus Mattawan.

I think the team will bounce back from lastweek’s loss at Stevensville-Lakeshore and willprovide the home fans with a satisfying 28-14 vic-tory to even their record at 1-1.

By the way, fans will most certainly notice thenewly refurbished bleachers that no longer featureplants and trees growing out of the cracks.

So, no need to bring your watering cans.Until next week, may the good news be yours.

After saying the United States should take military action against Syria after theiruse of chemical weapons against its own citizens last month, president Obama, lastweek, decided to seek congressional approval first.

Dangerous national curriculum: Now in our schoolsTo the Editor:Common Core (CC) re-

moves local control and ac-countability: This isn’t thefirst time the federal govern-ment has attempted to form anational curriculum. They’venever been able to get itthrough Congress becauseour congressmen knew it wasagainst the law.

So, the Obama administra-tion and Department of Edu-cation decided to go aroundfederal and state governmentsand tempt our state depart-ments of education by bribingtem with $4.35 billion of fed-eral stimulus money to thefirst states who signed on toCC - even though CC stan-dards and the national assess-ment test had yet to be writ-ten. They also promised thatstates who adopted CC wouldhave a better chance for awaiver from No Child LeftBehind. The states, in need ofmoney, accepted CC withoutthe necessary scrutiny con-cerning its merit and/or legal-ity.

As Dean Kalahar writes onThe American Thinker blog:“President Obama and Edu-cation Secretary Duncanfalsely said the CommonCore standards were devel-oped by the states and volun-tarily adopted. Common Corewas actually developed by anorganization called Achieveand the National GovernorsAssociation, funded by theGates Foundation by at least

$173 million dollars. (TheNational Governors Associa-tion is a trade association thatdoes not include all gover-nors.)

The administration createdtwo consortiums.

When our Michigan De-partment of Education signedus into the smarter balancedconsortium, they passed aline that had never beforebeen crossed.

They gave up all educa-tional decisions to an un-elected, unaccountable bu-reaucracy to decide what toteach. It started us down aslippery slope.

The test design being de-veloped by Smarter Balancedis heavily influenced by Stan-ford education professorLinda Darling-Hammond.Darling-Hammond is a for-mer colleague of domesticterrorist-turned education ex-pert, Bill Ayers.

Darling-Hammond is thepast president of the Ameri-can Educational Research As-sociation (AERA) and Ayerswas elected in 2008 asAERA’s vice president ofcurriculum. Linda Darling-Hammond was also a promi-nent advisor to then-SenatorBarack Obama during his2008 run for the presidency.Her “Stanford New Schools”is on California’s list of thelowest achieving 5 percent.

CC removes the privacy offamilies: The Fordham LawCenter questions the pru-

dence of pushing states to ex-pand student data systemswhich invade student privacyaccording to the “Family Ed-ucation Rights and PrivacyAct.”

According to Joy Pullmanof the Heartland Institute, thefederal government will haveaccess to not only the child’stest results but their privateinformation——withoutparental knowledge or con-sent.

They plan to collect 415attributes on every child in-cluding:

1-Any disease the childhas had

2-Any legal problems3-religious preference4-sexual preference5-if child has been excused

for a religious reason6-child’s social security #

in two places7-child’s acceptance of di-

versityThey require the collection

of data to link from theschool to the district to thestate to the federal govern-ment and other agencies.

As parents are learningabout their children’s privateinformation going into a na-tional data bank, they are out-raged, but Bill Gates of Mi-crosoft is smiling. All testsare to be taken via computer.

CC is against the law: De-spite three federal laws thatprohibit federal departmentsor agencies from directing,supervising or controlling ele-

mentary and secondaryschool curricula, programs ofinstruction and instructionalmaterials, the U.S. Depart-ment of Ed has placed the na-tion on the road to a nationalcurriculum.

The Department has orga-nized 2 consortia to “help”states move to common stan-dards and assessments.

Dr. Williams Evers, re-search fellow at StanfordUniversity’s Hoover Institu-tion and Koret Task Force onK-12 Education member,says, “The two testing con-sortia funded by the U.S. De-partment of Ed have alreadyexpanded their activities wellbeyond the limits of the law.”

He recommends the ac-tions of the Department war-rant congressional hearings.

Our U.S. Constitutionseeks a healthy balance ofpower between states and thefederal government, andwisely leaves the question ofacademic standards, curricu-lum and instruction up to thestates (U.S. Constitution, Ar-ticle 1, Section 8, Amend-ment 10).

4. CC removes Educa-tional Choices: Advocates ofCC argue that we need a na-tional curriculum because ofstudents moving from state tostate. Data indicate that inter-state mobility among school-age children is 0.3 percent.

Rough start on road for RedhawksMarshall loses season opener to Lakeshore, 56-14

Marshall players take the field prior to the start of the team’s season opener at Stevensville-Lakeshore on Aug. 29 where Marshall was defeated 56-14. Marshall’s twotouchdowns came on passes from quarterback Danny Welke to receivers Brandon Turner and Landry Reynolds. Marshall played its home opener Friday evening (Sept.6) versus Mattawan and will host Harper Creek on Sept. 13.

Brandon Turner leaps in an attempt to make the catch. Turner scored Mar-shall’s first touchdown of the season on a pass from quarterback Danny Welkein the second quarter.
