Washington Post - Steve Kramer is the superintendent of Madeira City Schools in Ohio. He recently wrote a letter to Ohio Superintendent Richard Ross expressing his concern that new Common Core tests students in his state are taking are “neither relevant nor important to the high quality instruction Madeira City Schools has been proud to provide for over 80 years.”
He isn’t the only one concerned in Ohio. This week, Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed into law a bill that protects students from most of the punitive consequences of the Common Core exams, including barring the state from using this year’s results from being used as a determinant of grade advancement or course credit.
