Nice summary of how Common Core will improve education..............[/quote]

You know, I actually agree with this part:

[i]Policy elites see school reform as a form of theater. Blaming schools for serious national problems, saying the right emotionally-loaded words, and giving the appearance of doing mighty things to solve the “school” problem matter far more than hard evidence or past experiences with similar reforms.[/i]

But it's as true for the opponents of the Common Core (Bobby Jindal, for example) as for the proponents.

And many of the political opponents of the Common Core are no friends at all to the public education system. If Larry Cuban thinks that the real problems are the "fiscal and tax policies and economic structures that not only deepen and sustain poverty in society but also reinforce privilege of the top two percent of wealthy Americans", I hope he's not looking to the political opponents of the Common Core for solutions.
