Bill Gates needs to drop his Common Core obsession

Salon article reposted – Bill Gates calls for 2 year delay in testing

“It’s hard to envision Bill Gates not getting exactly what he wants, or backing down from anything. However, that was before he became the sugar daddy and primary backer of the Common Core State Standards, which have raised the ire of parents, students and educators in the past year.
