Since you either didn’t read the article or somehow missed the point and thought it was about pay, let me repeat what she said for you:

“I can no longer be a part of a system that continues to do the exact opposite of what I am supposed to do as a teacher - I am supposed to help them think for themselves, help them find solutions to problems, help them become productive members of society. Instead, the emphasis is on Common Core Standards and high stakes testing that is creating a teach to the test mentality for our teachers, and stress and anxiety for our students.”

Hope this helps.

Yeah, silly me for thinking that "At the heart of her distress are the new Common Core standards, low teacher pay in Colorado... " might have actually meant what it said.
