Over the Educational Cliff
Washington D.C. - U.S. Senator LaLa Verdad of New York released this statement today:
Lately my office has been receiving communication from constituents about the state of education. Some of you have expressed annoyance over the frequency and length of the tests your child has had to take. Some of you were surprised to find out that the teacher you and your child love has been deemed "ineffective" as determined by value-added measures. A few of you were worried that the government maintains decades of data on your child. Some of you are angry that the unproven Common Core is forcing teachers to robotically deliver lessons and demanding six-year-olds read oodles of non-fiction. My question to you is: where the hell have you people been as our children went over the "educational cliff?"
I know, I know you didn't realize all these "reforms" were effecting your kid or yourschool district so you didn't give a shit. Well now that it's dawned on you that it is your kid and your district
