Three Questions: Jeb Bush On The State Of Common Core And Testing In Florida
one of the comments read:
This is so rich coming from Jeb Bush who was, and probably still is running around saying how he personally saved education in Florida with his FCATs. How he took Florida from the one of the lowest rated to close to the highest rated state in the US, as I heard him say a while ago.
Did Mr. Bush's FCATs turn into sub-par crappy standards when they were paid for and no longer generating revenue for the suppliers or was it when his foundations received a couple of millions from the biggest common core pusher of all, Bill Gates?
PS. Jeb, you need to change the name of your "Foundation for Excellence in Education" to the "Foundation for Sameness in Education".
