What is it we want to see kids acquire in the classroom?

Do Common Core and its associated assessments finally deliver those items?

Are excellence and difficulty being conflated in our educational system today?

If so, what are the consequences? 

In this latest clip from a longer interview Resounding Books conducted with Anthony Cody last week, the author and public education advocate provides insight on all of these questions as he articulately reflects on whether or not there's any merit in the education path for which long-time educrat Marc Tucker and others have continued to advocate for more than two decades. 

We trust you'll find his thoughts in this area as valuable as we did...and we hope that you'll share them with others.
