Private School Tips


When I was growing up we were taught Common Sense, there was no such thing as Common Core. You were either home schooled, went to public school, or went to private school. I was in public school 12 years & I was in private school 2 years. If you were growing up in the 80's, and early 90's like I was, then you know that you didn't always agree with the required books that you had to read for school but realized why they were so important to read. I thought that it would be a good idea to write about Common Sense Education. Since Common Core has been adopted into the curriculum at school, a lot of people is praying that Common Sense would be brought back into the school system. I hope that all of my readers enjoy!
