Speaking as a Hoosier: FO DOE!

You people have been dumbing down kids for far too long. It has to stop.

(from the article):"..its approved ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act/[No Child Left Behind])"

By dumping the FED motivated [No Child Left Behind])CommonCore program
I believe they have " dumped the chump " FED monies
for a move to ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE over Common Core mediocrity (lowering expectations).

It has been my contention that the education community hated NCLB so much they would be willing to do anything to rid themselves of it. So far it seems I haven’t been wrong. Common Core made it easy.

Abolish the Dept. of Ed. It is only an indoctrination program and has no pedagogical function whatsoever.

“IDOE (Indiana Department of Education) met ED (Department of Education) requirements in its approved ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act/[No Child Left Behind]) flexibility request through the 2013-14 school year by adopting and implementing standards common to a significant number of States. Because the IDOE will no longer implement those standards, IDOE> must amend its ESEA flexibility request and provide evidence that its new standards are certified by a State network of IHEs (Institutions of Higher Education) that students who meet the standards will not need remedial coursework at the postsecondary level.” The saga of NCLB waivers is further evidence of the administration’s clear fingerprints on what is ostensibly a “state-led” effort.

Wasn't this a M*A*S*H* episode?
