The teachers in my family are convinced common core is just an elaborate way to close down public schools and gut the teacher's unions so we can have non-union charter schools. Maybe someone who knows more about it can say whether this is at all accurate or not.

That is the goal of the people implementing it, as the nyt article says it isn't the goal of the authors.

Wait, did you even go to school to become a teacher?

Teach For America is specifically for people that aren't teaching majors. They're for graduates from elite universities to spend 2 years at problem schools.

Huh? VA has 5.62% and WV 6.04%, so VA is lower than WV though, yeah, both are relatively low. Both are much lower than the 19% I pay :v:

Yeah but if you're Canadian you likely pay less in fees and income tax.
