Body:
Dear Representative,
I am a board member of Lincoln Academy. We are a charter school and as such I strongly urge you to pass HB 342 by Rep. Dana Layton. This bill will allow Utah, parents, and schools to create its own high quality standards and not be beholden to outside special interest groups that have used Federal bribery through Race to the Top to get us onto Common Core. Common Core isn’t even a complete set of math standards, it’s not college or career ready, and the ELA standards place undue emphasis on informational texts which is not helpful for children’s love of learning.
