(Hour 3b, c)
(Hour 3b) Senior Fellow Sid Glassner got us up to speed on BIG STUFF from Atlanta, GA.
A trial is underway involving 35 defendants: professional educators and administrators involved in a widespread, cleverly devised conspiracy to inflate test scores.
Glassner shared his dismay on the bombshell news that isn’t likely to get much publicity from the Common Core loving mainstream media.
Glassner questioned what kind of culture is being created with a “Teaching to the Test” approach being foisted upon us by the US Department of Education.

(Hour 3c) Sid and Rich dove into the study of Manchester Schools by the NH Center for Public Policy.
It led to a discussing on poverty and it’s destructive forces on education.
Also, just how much the US and NH Departments of Education are missing the boat on individualized education. Is it more about “The Agenda” than the students in the classrooms?
