Eloquent 4th Grader Brings Crowd To Its Feet After She Rebukes Govt School TestingHeather Callaghan On Mar 17, tiny nine-year-old Sydney Smoot rocked the Brooksville Elementary Schoolhousewhen she boldly ripped into the new FloridaStandards Assessment. She brought the Board to its feet with a standing ovation after a two-minute lambasting, complete with fitting gesticulation. Take special note about orders that the students cannot disclose what they see on the test to their parents. WATCH Coincidentally, a parallel battle wages against PARCC* testing which is a somewhat privatized form of standardized testing that unfairly gauges knowledge of newly installed Common Core curriculum. Its an additional burden that takes 10 hours to complete. These tests are moreso hushed. So much so, that publishing company Pearson was recently caught spying on students social media accounts to make sure none of the Common-Core-crazy slipped out. All under the guise of security, of course. In actuality, these bullies really, really dont want parents to know whats happening. With such an aggressive push for these tests, shrouded in secrecy from parents, and despite such an impressive backlash, it is becoming more apparent that a synthesis is about to take place where everyone loses. Everyone but the State and Common Core pushers who are poised to pull back just a little and by doing so, get what they really wanted all along. *PARCC =Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, a coalition of states Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

And if school was about educating children, Im sure they wouldnt do such silly things. But, its not. Its obviously about indoctrinating children into the idea that stress is just a normal part of life, and that you have to go along with what the bureaucracy tells you. That its not about what is actually write or wrong, correct or incorrect, but only that the paperwork is in order. Unfortunately, they are so full of crap even the kids arent buying it. Highly impressed by this young lady. She reminds me of Rachel Corrie, who made a similar speech whilst still in junior school. Was that the principle behind her who would not stand up and applaud? Or maybe the board member who passed the testing? She did a wonderful job and I hope they listen. Every parent who supports this bright child should read Hold Back This Day, a powerful novel (amazon.com) that dramatizes just where brain-washing, mind-controlling schools along with our government are leading America. We owe it to children like her. Dont get too excited, Florida is Jeb Bush controlled. Jeb Bush is Common Core. I told my son when he was growing up that any time someone warned him to not tell me, that meant he was suppose to tell. They do, unfortunately. This young lady is obviously an Indigo, born on Earth at this time prepared to do battle against human oppression. These children will be stepping up more and more. Watch and learn. The leftwing will now label her a Tparty racist radical for her defiance to the creepy new edukashion directions crafted by these cultural commies. makes a good point for home schooling Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings. The criminals dont care about speeches, letters, protests or petitions. You people just dont get it. Youve been invaded and are now occupied. This is like the gun issue thinking that removing any legal means of getting a gun will solve things. CRIMINALS DONT FOLLOW LAWS. CRIMINALS ONLY RESPOND TO ONE THING. Anyone who has their kids in public school (training) these days is just setting them up for a future of being a poor, uneducated globalized slave. If theyre a boy their schooling will also include medication for ADHD (mental illness). Home schooling I think is the only option at this point. Shes in fourth grade come on theres no way she wrote that all by herself or even got those ideas for herself in the first place. Regardless a brilliant kid but cmon now.
