[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suggest two improvements:
Eliminate testing requirement in NCLB.
Eliminate Common Core--but that is up to the states.  [/quote]

1. As for eliminating NCLB, what do you propose to replace it with, because there still needs to be some consistent way of assessing academic achievement.

2. States already have the power to reject Common Core if they want to.  There is no law or mandate forcing them to use it.   So sorry, there won't be any idiotic Ted Cruz Green Eggs and Ham filibuster over it no matter how much you just love that shit.  But ask yourself, where will the money come from for them to transition to something else?  The feds won't step up to provide those funds, particularly now that your GOP buddies are out to kill Dept of Ed.  And will the "something else" truly be better?  You have no evidence to support that it will, particularly so given you have not come up with any alternative to replace it with.

And look, bottom line is that I'm really sick of all of this "repeal Common Core repeal NCLB" bullshit.  How about coming up with a proposal FIRST.  You don't just knock the foundation out from under a building without first propping it up and coming up with a means for replacing it.  If you don't have a REAL PROPOSAL other than "just get rid of it" then you have NOTHING TO OFFER.  And NOTHING is not a solution.[/quote]
