Just thought I would share the experience...

Today I was having a discussion with an Education Professor who was expressing her strong support of Common Core as I was saying that i wasn't a big fan. The conversation progressed as such
Me: "Well, I wish we would move in the other direction with mastery-based education using technology to enable kids to kids at their own pace no matter how fast or slow that may be. I don't want my kids to have to sit in the class bored to death like I did."

Her: "I did and I survived."

Me: "Well, one of mine is Profoundly gifted"

Her: "Profoundly Gifted? Ha! That is incorrect nomenclature. (walks away)
