We were on the scene for the Debate on Common Core at the St. Anselm College Institute of Politics on Monday night. This was one of the most important events on public education ever to happen in the State of NH.
Senior Fellow Sid Glassner of the NE Society for the Study of Education joined Rich for some pre-debate and post-debate commentary. We heard some interesting comments from folks stopping by our broadcast table, too!
