NEA Blasts Implementation of
"Common Core" Standards
EXCERPT:
The National Education Association, the nation's largest teachers union and ardent supporter of the Common Core academic standards, has now called the nationwide implementation of the standards "completely botched." What is needed is a major "course correction" that may require a revision of some of the standards, along with teacher input into implementation of the standards and accompanying tests, NEA president Dennis Van Roekel (shown) wrote in a letter sent Wednesday to the union's more than three million members, Politico reported.
