Tie it all together

Short and sweet.  Read a blog post from this fall.

Then come back here and read about Common Core.  I love the quote "We can't fix society, so we'll fix education."

Only problem is we are not "fixing" anything, we are glossing over the real problems.  I sometimes get so frustrated and caught up by the hypocrisy of education reform that I cannot see silver linings or the good.

There are several good things about the shifts for the new standards and driving students toward resource based answers and comprehension.  I do believe that.  I just cannot see past monopolies and corporate looking takeovers.  Someone please point me towards the good again.
