Price for Nevada dad to see state's school files on his kids: $10G

From Fox News.com (May 13):

Nevada dad John Eppolito got a bad case of sticker shock when he asked state education officials to see the permanent records of his four children.

He was told it would cost $10,194.

A Lake Tahoe-area real estate agent by trade and a fierce opponent of Common Core, Eppolito was concerned about Nevada's recent decision to join a multi-state consortium that shares students’ data. He wanted to know exactly what information had been compiled on his school-age kids. But state officials told him he would have to pay fees and the cost of programming and running a custom report.

“The problem is that I can’t stop them from collecting the data,” Eppolito told FoxNews.com. “I just wanted to know what it [collected data] was. It almost seems impossible. Certainly $10,000 is enough reason to prevent a parent from getting the data.”

Nevada has spent an estimated $10 million in its seven-year-old System of Accountability Information in Nevada, known as SAIN. Data from county school systems is uploaded nightly to a state database, and, under the new arrangement, potentially shared with other counties and states. But Eppolito wonders why the state is collecting data that parents can't even view. [read more]

If this is happening in Nevada it is probably happening in other states that have Common Core.

The dad doesn’t get it. He can’t see the records on kids because the state doesn’t see the kids as his kids but kids that belong to the State. And any data gathered from his kids belongs to them as well.  Welcome to the Collective. That’s what the progressives in the state believe anyway.

Along the same lines, here are some Common Core grammar lessons:

He [Obama] makes sure the country’s laws are fair.

Government officials’ commands must be obeyed by all.

An individual wants are less important than the nation’s well-being.

The mean republicans in Congress are against the Great Leader’s sacred mission for the country.

Okay, I made up the last line. But then again you never know. Learning has been morphed into propaganda. Exactly what Karl Marx always intended.
