(Hour 1a, b, Hour 2a, Hour 3a) Our “man, that was a long meeting to sit through” host was troubled by many of the statements made at last night’s School Board meeting.
Among them were comments by a Manchester teacher who claimed that Common Core math isn’t being used in our high schools. News to us!
