The educational "scourge" upon our school children, teachers and parents known as Common Core is running into significant opposition from around the country as the truth about the program and who is profiting from it becomes more and more open. No one is more dedicated to fighting against this well-funded but potential disastrous program than my guest tonight on North Florida Writer Live.
Meg Norris is an educator, a parent and an activist and she has been a driving force in the creation and growth of Opt Out Georgia, a diverse group of citizens of the Peach State who are just saying no. She has devised a great site on Facebook which now has thousands of members letting the people of Georgia know about the program and serving as a central point for disseminating information and organizing the fight against Common Core.
Meg has been a frequent guest on this program and always presents her argument in a persuasive way, citing empirical data and real life stories about Common Core and its adverse impact on learning and development. Recently she has led a determined fight before the Georgia legislature to achieve positive gains for real educational reform. It's a long and tedious process dealing with politicians, the bureaucracy and the educational lobby and Meg will tell us all about it tonight at 7. An energetic person with a positive outlook and great message delivery, I hope parents and teachers everywhere will listen in. You don't have to be in Georgia, the issues are similar in states across the land. We hope you'll join us for a rousing discussion. It's always informative and fun.
