I hope other teacher unions join California demanding Duncan's resignation. Who needs all that testing? So much time is wasted teaching to the test,and taking practice tests.This is is all valuable teaching time wasted.
Districts now have bought tons of common core materials for the teacher to use in the classroom. This is wasted money the district could use to hire teachers. Classroom sizes have increased to 27 students or more.
The companies producing all the tests are making TONS of money.
Arnie Duncan really wants to close public schools and have charter schools.
What a joke, public schools are held to a high level of accountability and charter schools get money( that should go to the public schools), and they have no accountability!

Duncan should resign NOW!
