[quote=Anonymous][quote]The problem is that regardless of whether it's a "deeply understood" belief, regardless of it "resonating in the trenches" it's still WRONG. The fact that people who deeply hold that belief cannot post any concrete, specific and authoritative language that's actually coming from NCLB or Common Core to actually substantiate the belief that it is so restrictive and limiting should serve as a wake up call that there's something fundamentally amiss in that deeply held belief, [b]and that the problem is in fact elsewhere, it's with school administration, not NCLB or CC.[[/b]/quote]

This is not just a problem in one district or one state; it is widespread. Maybe there is a problem with school administrators and not with teachers.  Maybe if test scores were part of administrators' evaluations there could be some sanctions placed on them?  Like we could get rid of the "bad ones"?  Apparently there are many out there that need to leave.

Because the problem can't possibly be with NCLB.   [/quote]
