Melinda Gates said “Parents rightfully said, ‘Oh my gosh, a new test,” – Really Melinda?!!  I believe it was more like “What the hell??  This standardized testing is child abuse!”  When you read this article by Lyndsey Layton make sure to “read between the lines” of what Bill Gates is saying.  Gates says he never anticipated the political pushback to the Common Core from tea party conservatives on the right and progressives on the left.  Gates lack of anticipation on the pushback was due to the fact that he was focused on profit not CHILD.

Keep pushing back on the standardized testing movement, we are winning!!!
