Robert Pondiscio

This morning Robert Pondiscio, of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, joined us to talk to Rich and Sid Glassner, host of the Is Our Children Learning, for an extremely lively and informative session about Common Core!

Robert explained why he is a supporter of Common Core and his view of the standards that they represent

Sid then expresses the opinion that such standards do little, historically speaking, to impact performance, and Rich adds that when government gets involved performance often declines.  If you are concerned with education today, or the Common Core issue, you will not want to miss this segment!
