The department of education has allowed and encouraged the corporate takeover of education through Common Core and overuse of standardized testing. American style education has always valued creativity and the development of the whole person. The hyper-focus on testing/standardization cuts out most of the opportunities that develop self-confident and creative citizens.
Please have the department of education end standardized testing, common core, and instead refocus on innovation and plans of how to best expose our children to new opportunities.
