Building The Machine – The Common Core

De documentaire ‘Building The Machine’ laat zien hoe in de Verenigde Staten door door een relatief kleine groep mensen bepaald werd dat er een gemeenschappelijke toets moest komen waaraan alle kinderen in High School moeten voldoen. 48 staten hebben dit Common Core States Standards Initiative (CCSSI) plan geadopteerd. De wijze waarop dit is gebeurd en de onderbouwing van dit principe geeft te denken.
In de documentaire laten ze zien dat het onderwijssysteem dommer gemaakt wordt met als voornaamste doel om om zo niet slimme kinderen af te leveren, maar systematisch kinderen af te leveren die goed kunnen meedraaien in de economische productiemachine. Gezien het gehele plan stilletjes overal is geintroduceerd is het overal zonder protest geaccepteerd, het initiatief “Building the machine” probeert nu met deze documentaire allereerst mensen bekend te maken met Common Core States Standards Initiative.

The Common Core is the largest systemic reform of American public education in recent
history. What started as a collaboration between the National Governors Association and
the Council of Chief State School Officers to reevaluate and nationalize America’s education
standards has become one of the most controversial—and yet, unheard of—issues in the
American public.
In 2010, 45 states adopted the Common Core States Standards Initiative (CCSSI), but
according to a May 2013 Gallup Poll, 62% of Americans said they had never heard of the
Common Core. Prominent groups and public figures have broken traditional party lines over
the issue, leaving many wondering where they should stand.
Building the Machine introduces the public to the Common Core and its effects on our
children’s education. Parents, officials, and the American public should be involved in this
national decision regardless of their political persuasion.
The documentary compiles interviews from leading educational experts, including members
of the Common Core Validation Committee. After a year of research and production, we
present the story of the Common Core through the voices of those who know
