Commitment to Public Education Trumps National “Education Reform” Movement in Connecticut - Wait, What?: "The “compromise” includes some elements that shouldn’t be here. Malloy’s Commissioner of Education is still granted way too much power – especially for someone who faces such a pronounced conflict of interest. And why legislators gave in to Malloy’s demand for even more standardized tests is a true mystery considering that between Connecticut’s Mastery Tests and the No Child Left Unbothered Act, teaching to the test is already one of the primary aspects of Connecticut’s education program. Mastery Tests take place every year and they now want to add even more – idiots!
But the bottom line, Michelle Rhee, Achievement First and ConnCAN elitists who will have spent upwards of $2 million on their lobby effort to sweep in and take over Connecticut’s education system, with the help of Governor Malloy, have failed.
And now a number of these groups will face investigations and potential penalties for their illegal lobbying activities."
