He's an Educator, So What Does HE Know?

At least one school superintendent is calling for a three-year moratorium on standardized testing.

Of course our "Democrats" in the executive branch will refuse to listen to common sense; Bill Gates or Eli Broad knows more than this peon superintendent:

He also said it was wrong to evaluate teachers based on the scores their students get on standardized tests because the method that is is based on “bad science.” He noted that he had previously worked in the New York City Department of Education, the nation’s largest school system, where was director of school performance and accountability. It became clear, he said, that the formulas used to assess a teacher’s value with the use of test scores had huge margins of error, as much as 55 points. While he said he is sure that President Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan have the best of intentions, they are wrong to embrace this assessment method. In Montgomery County, standardized test scores have no percentage weight in teacher evaluations.

In fact, he said that a good way to create assessments for Common Core-aligned curriculum would be to crowd-source the development and let teachers design them rather than have corporations do it. He criticized policies that help make public education
“a private commodity.”

That's the goal. It is nothing short of a pilfering of the taxpayer to further enrich the one percent. The "reformers" have no use for kids, teachers, schools, or anything else. Just the money.
