An Idaho Teacher Speaks Out Against Common Core and the SBAC

LeAnn Castor has decided she can no longer remain silent about what she sees happening in Idaho schools.  She has written two letters to whomever will read them.  While long, they are certainly worth reading!  Please read them and pass them on.  The first letter expresses her concern with Common Core and specifically the SBAC field test administered this past spring.

The second letter goes into greater detail about the vision of education put forth by the US Department of Education in a document called "Grit, Tenacity, and Perseverance."
