Common Core was many things but at root it was a pot of money.
If you wanted that money, you had to write a blurb about how you would use it to set uniform standards in education and outcomes blah blah blah.
Well now that federal pot is gone and President Trump won’t be advocating it be filled again. Instead you will see him whip up a storm of money for constructing safe state-of-the-art schools to keep his promise to the pastors in the inner cities.
And he’s bringing in De Vos to slay the teacher’s unions to keep their dirty mitts off the money. She is going to pour the money into School Choice and that is a death knell to the unions.
The teachers unions have done nothing but harm to the kids. It is a shame they, along with all other public employees, were ever allowed to organize in the first place. If teachers were allowed to be motivated by good work and success instead of simply showing up, and were allowed to be fired for doing a bad job, the schools would be a lot better off.
