Anthony Cody on defeating Common Core

Cody is fantastic, and tells it like it is:
We need to be absolutely clear. The Common Core is NOT a new paradigm.
It is old wine in a new, high tech bottle. If you want to give teachers a set of
loose standards and the time to work together to make them come alive
for their students, fantastic. However, if you want to create a seamless
system of cradle to college expectations, measured in all sorts of high stakes
tests, we are not interested, and will fight you every step of the way.
