20-fold increase in standardized testing coming with Gates Foundation's "Common Core":

81. I think jeb spearheaded the increase in testing in florida. seems like there was something recent

he was behind in florida that had to do with testing too, only it was defeated. can't remember the details.

on edit, just saw this: pearson bankrolls jeb:

While considering things that are perversions, a major bank roller of Jeb Bush’s foundation is Pearson. It seems that every education initiative in Florida comes from Bush and his reputation depends on the sanctity of standardized tests. The corporate ed reformers he represents cannot survive without standardized tests meaning everything.

Florida’s republican dominated legislative body can easily dismiss a Democrat governor like Jerry Brown as a crackpot. But the revolt that’s happening in a republican state like Texas will give them pause as its potentially large enough to stand up to Jeb Bush.
