State Rep. Ray Pilon knows he is at odds with most of the rest of the region’s delegation and other key state GOP leaders, notably former Gov. Jeb Bush.

But still, that is not stopping him from becoming a critic of new statewide education standards called Common Core.

Pilon said he’s seen the arguments from Bush and state Sen. John Thrasher,
Sale Online Buy Viagra Online Buy Authentic Womens, R St. Augustine, about why Common Core is needed,
Websites For Buy Viagra Online Come To Outlet Store Online To Buy, but he still doesn’t agree. Thrasher recently wrote a long message to Republicans stressing that the reforms are a result of conservative education reforms.

"We implore our fellow Republicans to judge the Common Core State Standards by what they are: academic standards, not curriculum and not a national mandate" the message from Thrasher and the others state party leaders.

Pilon said he read Thrasher’s piece but.

"I’m not buying that either," Pilon said.

He said he respects Thrasher and Bush,
For Sale Buy Viagra Online High Quality With The Best Price, but is just hearing from too many parents and other conservatives that have legitimate concerns about where Common Core will lead.

Florida leaders and members of this region’s delegation to the Legislature have been working for years to create more rigorous academic standards that would allow them to compare Florida students more accurately with other students in other states.

But Pilon said he’s ready to vote against implementing the standards because of the prospects of the state creating a new standardized test, partly developed by the federal government,

"My concern is that I don’t like a national standard," Pilon said.

He said he fears Florida is relying too much on standardized tests and needs other ways to measure whether students are making progress toward educational goals.

The issue of state standards will be part of a three day education summit Gov. Rick Scott has planned for Monday through Wednesday in Clearwater. Among other things, the summit is geared to talk about state standards and assessments for those standards. State Sen. Bill Galvano, R Bradenton,

Authentic Buy Viagra Online We Offer All Kinds Of Classic.

Dear Florida Republican Leaders:

Like many of you, we have been following the conversation regarding a new education reform initiative soon to arrive in Florida schools the Common Core State Standards.

Unfortunately, there has been a tremendous amount of misinformation about the movement to raise academic standards, especially among our fellow conservatives. As former chairs of the Republican Party of Florida, we wish to share our view on this effort and what it will mean for Florida’s students and our state’s future.

We know that the most critical component for creating an even playing field where every single individual has the opportunity to achieve greatness is education. A good system of education holds the power to keep America economically competitive and secure, while also lessening future generations’ reliance on government and entitlement programs.

Florida once ran one of the worst public education systems in the nation. Now,
Cheap Buy Viagra Online On Sale With Free Shipping And Biggest Discount, as a result of conservative education reform based on stronger accountability and more choice, we have become a national leader in boosting student achievement. Even so,
Hot Sale Buy Viagra Online From Our Store, our academic standards currently do not set the bar high enough for children to be globally competitive. This trend is mirrored in states across the country. On international assessments in Math and Science, American students are embedded firmly in the middle of the pack. This hardly bodes well for America continuing as the dominant world power in the 21st Century.

The nation’s Governors recognized this problem almost 15 years ago and began a process that eventually led to states collaborating on the development of Common Core State Standards. President Obama has falsely and dishonestly tried to take credit for this initiative, but this was a state issue, and state leaders developed the solution needed. Lately, there have been a number of myths about this initiative. We would like to address these directly.

Common Core is not a federal dictate or national mandate. States are free to adopt the standards or to not adopt them. And,
Store Online Buy Viagra Online Largest Best Cheap, if they have already adopted them, they are free to drop out at any point.

Some have alleged that the new standards change laws around student data and privacy. They don’t. Regardless of adopting the Common Core, states remain in control of their students’ private information, just as they are now. The federal government does not have access to individual student level data just aggregate information by school on how students are performing. States must remain vigilant in working with local school districts to continue protecting student information.

The Common Core State Standards only set academic expectations in English and Math. They do not dictate curriculum the textbooks used, the reading assignments handed down,
Buy Mens Buy Viagra Online Are Sold With The Lowest Price, the lesson plans employed by teachers,
Order Buy Viagra Online Sale With Variety Of Styles And Colors, and the thousand other methods or materials used to help students learn. The standards are merely benchmarks for what a student should know by the end of the year at each grade level,
Buy Mens Buy Viagra Online Original Price For Sale, from K 12. Ultimately, local school districts and teachers remain in control of their curriculum and in charge of their classrooms.

Some have expressed concern about Common Core’s impact on parental choice. Common Core State Standards in no way impact the right of parents to choose the best educational opportunity for their child. We already have academic standards; we are just raising the bar. Home school parents and parents with children in schools that do not receive state funding remain completely unaffected. In non traditional public schools that receive either voucher money or other state funding, the current dynamic remains unchanged.

Any exercise of this magnitude will have its supporters and detractors, its legitimate criticisms and its inevitable conspiracy theories. The simple questions for Florida are these: Will these new standards ensure we provide our kids with a better education and the taxpayers with a better return on their investment? Will the new assessments be better than the existing assessments? Will students graduate high school more prepared for college and the workforce?

We believe the answer to these questions is "yes." And, we are not alone. Common Core supporters include a wide swath of conservative leaders, including Mike Huckabee, Mitch Daniels, Haley Barbour, Bobby Jindal,
Online Buy Viagra Online Welcome To Our Online Shop, Chris Christie,
Real Buy Viagra Online Fast Shipping, Susana Martinez, Rick Snyder and our own Governor Rick Scott. And,
Authentic Buy Viagra Online Clearance Sale 2014. Get 64% Discount, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush,
Buy Mens Buy Viagra Online Free Shipping And Fast Delivery To Worldwide, who led the education reform efforts in Florida for eight years and initiated the turnaround of Florida schools, has been a strong proponent of higher standards.

We’ve seen what high standards mean to students in Florida. In 1998,
Womens Cheap Buy Viagra Online With Top Quality And Fast Delivery, nearly half of Florida’s fourth graders were functionally illiterate. Today, Florida’s fourth graders and eighth graders are above the national average in Reading and fourth graders are above the national average in Math with eighth graders closing in on that benchmark. Best of all, Florida’s Hispanic and African American students are making the greatest gains, narrowing the achievement gap for the first time in our lifetime. Every leading indicator test scores, graduation rates, national rankings, participation and achievement in Advanced Placement continues to rise thanks to higher standards. But, we have to continue the fight. Common Core does that.
