  1. Wow! Thank you so much for all the information you post. I put these articles on my Facebook page daily trying to make people aware of Common Core . And, I use them as source to write to my state representatives, school district and our state’s education department. It’s amazing how many of my friends have not even heard of CCSS or that they are in our state. Keep up the good work.

  2. This is fantastic…sharing…everywhere!

  5. Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared
    to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think
    about worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

  6. We stumbled over here different web address and thought I may as well check things out.
    I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward to
    going over your web page again.

  7. It’s going to be end of mine day, except before finish I am reading this fantastic piece of writing to improve my know-how.

  8. In both backgammon’s brick-and-mortar an internet-based casino varieties, every backgammon game starts with what is known as the starting position. Some of probably the most played flash games are Stunt Bicycle Draw, Zoo Keeper 2, Car Park Challenge, etc. The requirement for both kinds of games is evenly high.

  9. Everything is very open with a vedy clear explanation
    of the challenges. It was truly informative. Your website is
    useful. Thank youu for sharing!

  10. The parade of athletes and speeches will commence
    and the Olympic flag will be raised. That means any number of computers can hook up without disrupting the signal of the TV.
    But watching live television outside of our local HD Antenna streams were a no go.

  11. Big Common Core news in Arizona is not being covered. Diane Douglas has won the Republican nomination for Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction on an anti-common core platform. Please publicize this important news. http://www.dianedouglas.com/

  12. Great news for Arizona! Diane Douglas, who campaigned exclusively to repeal Common Core in AZ, has won the election as State Superintendent of Public Instruction! The people have spoken, and they have rejected Common Core. Now I pray she can accomplish her campaign promise to repeal Common Core in AZ. Governor elect Doug Ducey has also spoken against Common Core, so hopefully between the two they can accomplish it.
