Should NH continue to base statewide assessments on Common Core standards?
"I agree that there need to be educational standards, not only because we need to ensure that all students have a baseline level of education, but because all individuals having a common base of knowledge would facilitate the free flow of new ideas. Where I disagree with Common Core is the excessive system of testing which often times leads to educators teaching to the test instead of developing critical thinking and problem solving skills among the student body."
