The DoEd Common Core has been tried. But the only outcome appears to be a giant pile of standardized tests, designed to torment children and teachers alike in pursuit of some ephemeral national Good Education Score Card.

I'm not sure I want to see education in Massachusetts or Minnesota fall victim to whatever Betsy DeVos cooks up during her next term as Education Secretary.

Common Core

Yeah that was all garbage. Bush created a distraction needed from all the heinous shit he was doing overseas. I don't look at that shitshow as a model for future reform.

It wasn't just Bush. Obama was a big supporter of Michelle Rhee, during the 2008 DC School takeover and privatization plan.

I don't look for it, but I do see it. Houston ISD is currently being gutted in the same manner as the DC system 16 years ago.

this is what we get for wanting nice things.
