What about the "old model" of education do you think was causing that, such that it will be rectified by common core?

The whole purpose of the benchmark testing in Common Core was to prevent promotion in any way without demonstration of acquired skills. The purpose to adopting across states was to measure states on a common matrix.

You want to get Louisianaians on par with kids around the country, Common Core provides the means to do that. However, as usual, people bitch about change and anything different, even if the intent of Common Core was to achieve what everyone always bitches about on here--higher standards for education.
