Good Morning and Happy Veteran’s Day


We again want to thank American Legion Post 79 of Bountiful Utah for Posting the Colors for us at our Meeting this week. Today that same AL Post 79 is holding a special Veteran’s Day Program at the American Legion Hall 52 W. 200 S. The public is welcome to attend. It will begin at 11:00am.


Tonight at the American Legion Hall a new Constitution Class will begin, this time you will learn about the Constitution itself after this class you will not only be able to read, but you’ll actually understand the language of that amazing document. Most importantly you will learn the Constitution from the original intent. This is a perspective that is no longer taught in our schools universities or even law schools. Constitutional lawyers are taught about the Constitution but only from a perspective of case law, not on the history and founding of the document. When you finish with this course you will be well equipped to ask the important questions to our 2012 group of candidates. The attached flyer has all the details.


Next week for those of you living in the southern Davis County below Cherry Hills; Cherilyn Eager will be speaking and sharing information about her Congressional Race. She is running for the 2nd Congressional District that is currently held by Jim Matheson. Southern Davis; Bountiful Area and such is now in the 2nd Congressional District. Rob Bishop will no longer be representing us. Cherilyn will be at Dalane England’s home 2692 Grand Oak Cir. Bntfl. At 6:30PM on November 16. This is a great way for you to meet Cherilyn up close and personal so you can make a more educated decision when election time comes in 2012.


Have a wonderful Veteran’s Day,

Kris K

Stop right now and take your red marker and circle November 9th! That is the date of our next UWF Meeting. We have an amazing guest speaker you will not want to miss. Retired Colonel Jack Tueller a Bountiful resident in his 92 year will inspire us with amazing stories from WWII. He will also pleasure us with his expertise as a trumpet player. He truly is a National Treasure.

We have more Treasurers here in Bountiful as 6 year old Eleanor McChesney along with her 4 year old sister Amelia will recite the Gettysburg Address from memory. This will be a wonderful meeting that will help us remember and honor our Veterans who have so willing served and protected our Liberty and Freedoms.


We look forward to seeing you there and as always bring a friend.



Thanks Kris K

"A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins." Benjamin Franklin

UNITED WOMEN'S FORUM
Minutes

Date: October 12, 2011
Time: 10 a.m. to 12 noon
Place: American Legion Hall, 52 W. 200 S., Bountiful, Utah

Topic: The ABC's of Common Core Curriculum: The New Nationwide Curriculum and Assessments

Presenters Dalane England and Pamela Smith

Common Core has been renamed Utah Core. On the surface it looks wonderful; it is essentially about raising and setting standards, which is a universal goal. The presenters said that they don's have as much of an issue with the standards as they do with the curriculum and assessments that are tied to the standards.

Although Utah Core is being touted as an effort by the individual States to improve education, and that States are not required to participate, it is being funded through consortiums that are federally funded, which are providing the writing assessments and curriculum, and it is being designed by UNESCO--the United Nations. It is seen by conservatives as a backdoor strategy to give greater control of education to the Federal Government.

Governor Herbert has signed an agreement on behalf of the State of Utah to adopt Common Core/Utah Core. The Common Core curriculum is still being written, but Utah's teachers are being prepared to implement it at this time. If any of the curriculum does not meet the standards and values of Utah, our children will still be required to be taught those standards/values.

The math assessments that have been written to date have totally reconstructed math and the way it is taught. Educators are concerned because this method will be a big step backward. Geometry and Algebra won't be taught categorically, with new math skills being built upon previous learning, but will be integrated into basic math. Teachers report that it is very difficult for students to understand, and that only the very mathematically adept will be able to grasp it. Also, assessments are different than tests because the answers are subjective. The educator does not see the questions and answers, only the final score, so the students' needs cannot be determined and addressed. The presenters report that one of the questions has to do with how many kittens a cat can produce in a specified amount of time--which has no correct answer, but will be determined by the computer program whether or not it is 'correct'. Also, the child's future vocation will be determined by the outcome of the testing by as early as 7th grade, according to the testing evaluation, not according to the teacher's evaluation, nor the child's and the parents' understanding and inclinations.

Pres. Obama's administration is offering the States who sign on to Common Core to be relieved of the No Child Left Behind requirements. The presenters state that now is the time to act. Once a lot of money and effort have been invest in CCSS/UC, it will be difficult to back out. They are asking that the following:

1. Contact a school board member to discuss this issue one-to-one. They note that a power point presentation will be made available to you via e-mail to assist in your discussion.
2. Write a letter to the Governor addressing your concerns and asking him to withdraw Utah's participation in this program immediately.
3. Talk to your friends and family and educate them on the consequences.
