See Original Content on OpEdNews in article titled "Jesse Hagopian on the Obama Administration's Change of View on Testing"

My take-away: "Obama has now admitted the failure without fully admitting to his direct role in promoting the tests. Duncan and Obama, with funding from the Gates Foundation, coupled Race to the Top with Common Core State Standards and the high-stakes tests that came shrink wrapped with them. Together these policies have orchestrated a radical seizure of power by what I call the "testocracy"--The multibillion dollar testing corporations, the billionaire philanthropists who promote their policies, and the politicians who write their policies into law."

Take a look at the graphic at another Ravich post which shows the EDUCTION INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX and the connection to Gates, Broad, Walton & Pearson.

And remember this NYS Governor Cuomo, in the face of all this, and the rage of NYS parents who opted out in record numbers, wants to increase to 50% -- the evaluation of teachers by these scores... "all the better to call you a big bad teacher" he says to the professional educators who raise all our kids so they can succeed.
