As for the question of politics, it wasn't the left who started complaining about the common core standards, it was the right. That is fact whether you want to believe it or not.

The conservative right complained because they realized that those standards would not serve the common good. And, like Mike, I did not like No Child Left Behind either.

P.S. I think you made a wise choice, and I commend you for it, in deciding that you were not cut out to be a teacher. We have too many ineffective teachers now because those people did not understand their own weaknesses.
