around common core and curriculum in general. it is important for me to set some context in understanding curriculum. when you look at core standards versus curriculum, curriculum is what schools adopt to a line instruction within that school to meet the standards that are created by the federal government, or the state government. we don'tennsylvania, subscribe to the full national common core but we have the pennsylvania core standards. if we look at our core standards in math, they ensure academic alignment to allow students or provide students the opportunity to be prepared for math and take trigonometry and calculus before they graduate from high school. ensure that, in literacy for example, students receive literacy instruction at a rate and a level that will ensure the kids can't engage at the college level, to upper high school level text by the time they graduate high school. that is why standards are important. theyprovide the benchmark, provide the north star, for lack of a better term, to drive instructional practice a

curriculum aligned destruction here, we don't subscribe to the full national common core, but we have pennsylvania standards. if we look at our core standards, we allow students much of the opportunity to be .repared in literacy, the students at a levelstructions that i'm sure they can engage with biotime the graduate from high school. that is why standards are important. toy provide the benchmark drive and instructional practice at the local level. when we hear the argument around the pennsylvania core standards i think there is this disconnect between what standards are and what a curriculum is. in my opinion, we actually -- in mysolutely -- ion, we actually want six could be focusing on different skill sets with a greater disconnect between the have and have-nots. ourndly, -- focus on all of lgbtq.s including we understand there's a need for additional developments, additional resources and on our website you can follow. called ant we have inclusion toolkit to ensure we provide communities and educators they need of all students. -- for us and we have been clear is our jobistration

i understand common core, i can figure it out, but to a young child who's just learning the common core method, it looks like imagineic. what they're doing in the schools -- magic. what they're doing in the schools is they're removing the intellect. and if you as a child don't get it, you're stupid. and if you as a parent don't get it, you look stupid to your child. >> sam sorbo to, you mentioned you have another book coming

feel the acute responsibility to make human dignity the core of my work, and, i trust, the core of our commonhange, try to bring that about either through quiet diplomacy, or naming and shaming. i'm trying to get a feel for what kind of secretary general you're going to be. are you going to be someone who is very outspoken and say "i condemn these actions because they are causing suffering," because you say you want to restore humanity dignity? i want to stop suffering. in many circumstances, the best way to stop suffering is through diplomacy. in other circumstances, the best way to stop suffering is to make coalitions that are necessary to address the problem and solve it. in some situations, when all this failed, the way to at least try to solve the problem is to denounce it. i will do these three things altogether and i will be using the different instruments of united nations to do it. secretary general antonio gutteres, thank you very a much indeed for coming on hardtalk. it was a pleasure. after a weekend of sunny spells, and some heavy showers around too, there is going to be a bit of

if donald trump is willing to find common ground with democrats in terms of our core approach, tax reformto benefit the majority of americans, not the privileged few, it should benefit working families, not the wealthy and well-off. perhaps we can find common ground and arrive at a solution. tip o'neil and ronald reagan were able to do it in 1986. perhaps donald trump and nancy pelosi can get it done in 2017-2018. cristina: what does that mean with the corporate tax rate? rep. jeffries: president obama had put forth in his most recent budget a proposal that would have dropped of the corporate tax rate from the current level of 35% to 28%. democrats recognize that there is room for lowering the corporate tax rate given that the rate on the books, not necessarily the rate the corporations pay, but the rate on the books, is higher than most of the developed world. dropping it from 35% to 15% is unacceptable for most democrats. certainly not acceptable for me. because there is no evidence if you drop the corporate tax rate that the lion's share of benefits will go to the american people. that

europe, there are issues at the core of how much sovereignty countries it should have versus how much commonalityy should have. robert: it is a little complicated, but if you look at it between the u.s. and europe, when they created the euro out of nothing, they created the tremendous fiscal process that they immediately violated. what has happened with the crisis, post-financial crisis, and the euro crisis is they have really regrouped. and so, at first they wanted to drive the private sector involvement, and that was obviously a disaster. instead they tightened the fiscal restraints and the processes for approval of budgets. they began to make examples out of individual countries when the eurozone was acting in a position of strength. an example of that is cyprus theyre basically, restructured the banking sector and took money out of deposits to right the situation. so how does this matter for italy? italy now -- if europe was in disarray and they have italy on the brink, they are a little bit owned by what is going on there. but right now, the rest of europe is doing great and italy is the odd

core piece of this. robert lump kn is interesting because he had a common law wife who was a freed person of color. she upon the end of the war, lumpkin put a number of enslaved people on a train. he took off with them. he tried to get out of richmond along with the confederates and eventually met his end. but what happened in 1865 was his wife took his slave jail and turned it into a school. so this became the first place for the education of african-americans in richmond. there's a saying the televisions half acre becomes god's half acre. the school eventually becomes virginia state university. now, in this repurposing of public space and in the spaces of the slave trade, african-americans are also trying to walk a really fine line between joy and -- between rejoicing in the ways they perceive god to have blessed them, celebrating emancipation without taking off too much. the colored people of richened would most respectfully like to tell the public they do not intend to celebrate the -- despite the fact they're going to be performing a parade the day richmond fell into union hands. they say what
