Something's Rotten at the Center of the Common Core

Stan Karp, at Rehinking Schools, knows how to get to the heart of the matter and has a way with words. Thanks for providing us teachers with some good reading on a snow day.

  1. Wonderful summary. The only response is civil disobedience. When parents tell their children to go to school during "test week" and refuse to pick up a pencil the system will come crashing down. The system needs data to survive. Deprive it of what it needs to live and you'll kill it.
