How’s that Florida Education Working for ya?

• Diane Kepus
Why is it the State of Florida continues to listen to lobbyist’s and those who choose to have a financial interest in our children’s education rather than really caring about what is actually happening to our children? Many of us here in Florida have repeatedly tried to get the message across to the Florida legislators that there are many things wrong with Florida’s education. They were ask NOT to participate in Race To The Top (RTTT) and the Common Core Standards (CCS). We showed them the problems, but when we mentioned Jeb Bush and how his Foundation for Excellence is doing the state’s children no favors, we were immediately cut off. No Child Left Behind has been a failure from the beginning and the state’s own FCAT scores show that to be true for over a decade.
