It allows experiments so we can see what works better and what fails? school can adjust to what it teaches to meet local needs. but that s supposed to change. politicians in 45 states approved something called common core, the same goals for math and english. the same tests. it s a movement to standardize what s taught. they like a settle on see change in education, consistent strong benchmarks for english, arts and math. john: sounds like a good thing with one set of national tests we know what all american kids have learned. everyone held to equal standards. however, lots of people on the left and the right are furious. lindsey burke says it s a power grid. the states agreed to it. hard to say it wasn t imposed when you had billions of dollars, 4.35 billion dollars a nontrivial sum ....
