[quote=Anonymous][quote] That is a great post. I am a supporter of the Common Core standards, but if I were Emperor of the US, the Common Core standards are not what I would focus my educational efforts on. The problem is that there is no political will to fight (as Larry Cuban said) 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", or to increase the pay and prestige of teachers so that teaching is an attractive, prestigious, competitive field. So what's left? Fiddling around with standards. And even that negligible step is a colossal fight. [/quote] That is not going to help either. It's not poor teachers that are causing the problem.
