The Case for AASA to Abolish National Superintendent of the Year

Both of the last two years' winning clowns are now peddling the Gates mantra of "Common Core," which promises to be the ruination of public education in this country by violating local control and forcing all students to learn the same thing at the same time regardless of ability:

The Common Core standards – which have been adopted in our state and around the country following years of public debate among educational leaders and policymakers – bring an essential level of rigor into our public schools, setting the bar high for all our children. These standards will ensure that our students master not just the basic skills but also higher-level competencies such as problem-solving and critical thinking.

What a goddamned stupid pair of overpaid superintendents who got out of teaching because they couldn't cut it.
