High School Senior's Take on the Common Core and the Obsession with Testing

The debate over Common Core continues. This video captures a high school senior Ethan Young speaking eloquently about some of the concerns about establishing a national curriculum and our current education system's obsession with testing, accountability and standards.

Take a look at Ethan Young's take on this. It renews our faith that young people are passionate and do care about their education.
