CURMUDGUCATION: Jeb's Amnesia
http://curmudgucation.blogspot.com/2015/08/jebs-amnesia.html

Because, again, the fathers of Common Core did not say, "Let's see what actual teacher...

http://dailyhowler.blogspot.com/2013/09/dont-know-much-about-public-schools-it.html
Musings on the mainstream "press corps" and the american discourse. DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT PUBLIC SCHOOLS:. It happened in Massachusetts—and in Texas too! WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2013.

For example, if the reign of the one percent continues, kids may get better in reading and math, improving their productivity in the workplace. CHANG (9/3/13): If Mas...
