EPHRAIM'S ARROW--JEWISH STUDIES


Weather By The Hour

Don't forget as you check on the weather to check in with the One who calms the storms!

 

Fields White To Harvest

 

 

Lord, I thought I knew you,

   but know the winds have changed.

Tossed away, will you find me?

   Can still , my heart be sustained?

Just me and you when things were new,

then the season's storms blew by.

   Did I forget to worship you?

 

Will you come, Lord Jesus to gather us- your sheep.

   For the days grow long and still,

If we watch and wait, will you hear us yet-

   Can we stand strong to do you will?

 

 The wheat has been blowing in that field,

   While the laborers are so few.

What then, now are we waiting for?

   Can hardened hearts become like new?

 

 Safely can we stay behind you,

   as we march with your trumpet sound?

Or- have we stayed and hid so long now,

   That our roots dry underground?

 

 I pray Lord that you will find me.

   I pray not to be ashamed.

I seek you when it's early Lord.

   I pray not to fall away.

 

So come Lord Jesus come quickly-

   The terrible day is at hand.

I pray we'll all be steadfast.

   So you may strengthen our spirits ,

as we stand.

What Happens When Teachers Get A Glimpse of Their Future--What Planners of Common Core Hope Teachers Don't Find Out Until Too Late--Teachers Lose When Children Lose

Hear this from three education experts--two of which were on the National Validation Committee of Common Core and they have found it to be very deficient to the point that it is considered dangerous for children.  Teachers need to listen to these top experts (look up their accolades) and heed their warnings.

Obama and his Department of Ed have launched a full scale plan using taxpayer money to nationalize education.  And since the destruction is within the mind of a child-- it is easy to ignore the effects of Obamacore aka Common Core (here is a Common Core collage of excerpts from interviews with Professors Sandra Stotsky and Jim Milgram, Charlotte Iserbyt, Alice Linahan, Christel Swasey, Becky Gerritson, Jackie Virga, Col. John Eidsmoe, Ken Freeman,--you can make copies on CDs to share).

There are many parents already troubled about its effects in even as young as Kindergarteners (here's link of what is being forced upon one so young). And then here's a fb post from one parent whose heart is broken for many (the death of dreams toward exceptionalism?):

Here is what another mom experienced today in her child's classroom:
I had a real Common Core eye-opening, personal experience today when I volunteered in my youngest daughters kindergarten class today. I was asked by the teacher to pre-assess them on addition/subtraction. We are nearing 4 weeks in school and I was surprised of my task. She gave me the option to not do it since she knows how I
feel but I decided to go ahead. I can't even explain the rising of tears and emotions when 75% of the children looked to me for answers and were totally confused. Most have never seen addition/subtraction problems and my hear broke every time one said "I can't do this" or "I don't understand". Assessing children on things they haven't even been exposed to is WRONG! It sets them up for failure right at the beginning of school and the look of discouragement on their faces...broke my heart! Why shatter their spirit so young when they haven't even discovered the true love of learning? That's NOT rigor, that's plain inhumane!

But another class that is falling as victims at the same time are the teachers.  Many of them used to love their job.  It brought them joy to see the gleam in the eyes of children when they finally get what the teacher has worked hard to teach--that love for learning.  It also brought them joy when they saw a development of kindness and goodness toward fellow students when stories were read that promoted that Golden Rule.  The teaching profession was just marvelous in the eyes of many teachers, parents and definitely to students.  Then came Common Core...little by little the joy is leaving their profession. 

This link is to one mother's story to give a glimpse of how joy was snuffed out...

Many educators keep trying to convince themselves that's it's going to get better--that it's just a matter of time and they just need a better approach... hence more training etc. etc...

And then there are more of those that finally tell themselves that it is just too much and maybe it's time to get out.  For those that want to know what happened to their teaching profession, here is an interview with one teacher who had been at the top and then was brought low by the very people that at one point commended him for being such fine teacher.  If you are a teacher, please listen and realize you are not the problem.  However, it is also time for you to realize that "you" can be part of the solution. 

 

Here's another food for thought to make you realize this had been planned a long time ago.

Sometimes truth hurts but God is able to help us when we hurt and He certainly loves the little children.  By the way, there is help for you if you feel like you've been squeezed too hard.  Set yourself free and help God's children.  Remember the Founders ended tyranny by asking God to be part of the equation and please know God can overcome anything the other side throws your way(just be sure to be on the right side of God).

Here's an interview about a group that have been proven to help teachers:

America Needs Heroes To Save Their Children From Common Core And It Begins With Parents

Why Are Heroes Needed to Save Children from Common Core State Standards?

America is called the "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave".  Why is that?  Could it be because in its very beginning those who came upon its shores were indeed very brave and they were seeking to live in the land that was free.  In William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation-their children was one of the main reasons many came to America. 

Chapter IV of Of Plymouth Plantation (reading this excerpt will make you want to read more of what they were dealing with--for such a time as this...)--"But that which was more lamentable, and of all sorrows most heavy to be borne, was that many of their children, by these occasions and the great licentiousness of youth in that country,5 and the manifold temptations of the place, were drawn away by evil examples into extravagant and dangerous courses, getting the reins off their necks and departing from their parents. Some became soldiers, others took upon them far voyages by sea, and others some worse courses tending to dissoluteness and the danger of their souls, to the great grief of their parents and dishonour of God. So that they saw their posterity would be in danger to degenerate and be corrupted."

They braved the unknown and sacrificed much for the love of their children.  Hundreds of years later we have benefitted greatly.  But alas today, most of America's parents are asleep to the dangers their children are facing.  But awaken they must so they can be the heroes so necessary for their very own precious children.  Professor Sandra Stotsky who was on the National Validation Committe of Common Core said it well--you don't keep giving poison to children no matter how much you've invested in buying the poison--that is her warning to Superintendents who use the excuse of how much money they have already invested in Common Core.  Also the other true expert on National Validation Committee was the Math Expert-Professor Jim Milgram and he said that psychologist was involved and indeed the outcomes show it (hear interviews with these two experts below).  In video of clinical psychologist is a very powerful warning of the kind of people that will be raised by these runaway standards.  The Common Core standards biggest violation (and there are many) is that it takes away parental authority.  So get informed parents because if you didn't know--you will never gain it back and who will suffer most?  The child in front of your very eyes.  So take time out of your very busy schedule-study and do your homework--most Superintendents,Principals and Legislators haven't and it's proving dangerous for America's children.

National Sexuality Standards?!

http://www.sdagainstcommoncore.com/2013/05/national-sexuality-education-standards.html


On page 9 under "Guiding Values and Principles"

"Instruction by qualified sexuality education teachers is essential for student achievement." 
Wouldn't that be the parents? Who decides who is "qualified"?    

"Students need opportunities to engage in cooperative and active (I underlined those two words) learning strategies, and sufficient time must be allocated for students to practice (I underlined that one too) skills relating to sexuality education."
What does that mean? Something like this

And I just have to highlight this principle:
Students need multiple opportunities and a variety of assessment strategies to determine their achievement of the sexuality education standards and performance.

 
http://charlestonteaparty.org/sc-legislators-lock-step-with-obama-and-planned-parenthood/

President Obama’s new budget, submitted a few weeks ago, eliminates all funding for any abstinence education programs and directs the funding to US HHS to establish yet another new contraception program!

This is the Obama policy with sex education:  Eliminate abstinence programs and direct the money towards sexually explicit sex education for middle and high school students.

Millions of Obama administration dollars have been funneled into SC to promote shocking sex education materials and to support those that oppose abstinence-until-marriage programs.

I pray more people will study and support Martha Roby's Bill to defend State's Rights:

Please visit Citizens United for Responsible Education--CURENat and get very informed as Truth is your best weapon.  It will make you--your child's best defender which is exactly what the enemy does not want.  May God help you!

  Take the time to smell the stench of Common Core amidst the flowery speeches and resolve to make a difference and may it be as in Isaiah 54-

13 All your children will be taught by the Lord,
    and great will be their peace.
14 In righteousness you will be established:
Tyranny will be far from you;
    you will have nothing to fear.
Terror will be far removed;
    it will not come near you.
15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
    whoever attacks you will surrender to you.

16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmith
    who fans the coals into flame
    and forges a weapon fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc;
17     no weapon forged against you will prevail,
    and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
    and this is their vindication from me,”
declares the Lord.
