[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WAPO says that Obama will veto the bill that Congress is passing to eliminate testing portion of NCLB. That's a shame. I think liberals and conservatives agree on that.[/quote] The bill that the House Republicans passed does NOT eliminate the testing portion. Also, "[i]House Republican leaders view the bill as a way to show their opposition to the Obama administration’s encouragement of the Common Core state standards. The standards have been adopted in more than 40 states and spell out what English and math skills students should master at each level. The Common Core standards have become a political issue in many states because they are viewed by critics as a federal effort, even though they were developed by U.S. governors[/I]." http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/white-house-threatens-to-veto-gop-effort-to-overhaul-no-child-left-behind/2015/02/25/13766340-bd39-11e4-b274-e5209a3bc9a9_story.html[/quote]
