An Article 31 Petition to REPEAL COMMON CORE in New Hampshire

If what children need most is to be accepted as they are and to be inspired to become more of who they were designed to be, then to deny their significance for any lack of conformity to the "STANDARDS" should be considered CHILD ABUSE.

Children who are encouraged to first LEARN HOW TO LEARN will eventually become confident enough to believe they can change the world.

I believe any child not fully taught this skill will feel inferior and will never have the confidence to realize their own potential.

Wisdom is attained through a deep drive to understand something beyond the knowledge gained for that purpose; it comes as a result of inspiration.

Knowledge on the other hand is only information gathered to no end and is therefore cumbersome for a child to absorb without a prior inspiration to do so. (that is depressing)

The fundamental essence of wisdom is to understand the knowledge we have gained through our personal experiences and through the teachings of others, therefore the most important thing a Child can be taught in any school environment is How To Learn.

I believe there is a time for a very structured environment in which to learn the basics of Math, Reading Comprehension, History, Music etc ... but as invaluable as these are to a child, they pale in comparison to the skill of learning itself.

If you're in New Hampshire, please sign this petition to Repeal Common Core and to Restore the Focus of Education back to Wisdom.
