John Stossel on the Problems With Common Core

dumb down tests to try to “leave no child behind.” How can
government evaluate teachers and reward successful schools if there
isn’t a single national standard? But when the federal government

the country, writes John Stossel, that’s even more central
planning, and central planning rarely works. It brings
stagnation.
