“Bill Gates loves Common Core for your kids, BUT NOT HIS
Billionaire software tycoon Bill Gates has poured millions of dollars into efforts to develop and promote the Common Core State Standards Initiative, a set of K-12 math and language arts curriculum benchmarks and high-stakes standardized tests now being implemented in 46 states. (And there is nothing wrong with that. He is a businessman and a citizen. Therefore, he can certainly support and prosper from Common Core if there are no illegal actions occurring!—my addition)
Strangely enough, though, Common Core isn’t quite good enough for Gates and his wife, Melinda, when it comes to the education of their own three children.
Diane Ravitch, a self-styled education policy iconoclast who tends to oppose Common Core (and charter schools, and much else), noted this irony on her blog earlier this week.
The children of Bill and Melinda Gates—Jennifer, Rory and Phoebe—have attended Lakeside School, Seattle’s most elite, fancypants private school. (And there is nothing wrong with that. As a parent, he may send his children to public school, to a private school, or home school them!—my addition)
The hallowed halls of Lakeside School are a sweet place to attend classes if you have the means.
According to a Seattle education blog, the student-teacher ratio is 9 to 1. The average class size is 16. Some two dozen varsity sports are available and the opulent athletic facilities include ‘hydrotherapy spas.’
Of course, what with tuition for the 2013-14 academic year costing $28,500 per kid (not including books, laptop, field trips, etc.), most families don’t have the means.
Lakeside’s website doesn’t appear to discuss Common Core much.
‘The mission of Lakeside School is to develop in intellectually capable young people the creative minds, healthy bodies, and ethical spirits needed to contribute wisdom, compassion, and leadership to a global society,’ reads the school’s mission statement. ‘We provide a rigorous and dynamic academic program through which effective educators lead students to take responsibility for learning.’
A sub-mission statement talks about ‘interacting compassionately, ethically, and successfully with diverse peoples and cultures (The typical Leftist drivel!—my addition).’
A 2011 webpage from Lakeside School does discuss how Lakeside has sort-of-kind-of used Common Core’s relatively obscure science component as a framework. The page notes, however, that Lakeside students are ‘generally more advanced than average’ and won’t be subject to any of the standardized testing which the hoi polloi in public schools will undergo.
Like his children, Gates also attended Lakeside before going off to—and then dropping out of—Harvard University.”
Bill Gates, as far as I know, has done nothing wrong in this area. This is typical of the wealthy. Claim to support public education while sending their children to private schools which they certainly are allowed to do! This is America. Their position though is clear, what is good for the general public is not good enough for their children. President Barack Hussein Obama was supported twice by the national education unions. He sends his children to an expensive private school. Go figure! Why do we allow them to determine how our schools are run?

This is my two part suggestion to Tea Party groups, social conservatives, Constitutionalists, and anyone else who wants to save our Republic from the approaching destruction.
1) Run as many conservative candidates in as many Republican primaries as possible.
2) Then, run as many independent and/or third party candidates as possible in as many races as possible where we did not win the primary.

Competition is good for the economy and competition is good for the Republican Party!!! Competition keeps Congressmen committed to we the people!!! Primary Republicans who do not support the Constitution as written.
