Anthony Cody recently discussed his reactions to President Obama's comments about not wanting schools to focus on standardized tests while at the same time the Department of Education and the states are increasing their use of and reliance on standardized tests for education decisions. Anthony writes for Education Week and the Teacher Leaders Network. He worked as a science teacher in inner-city Oakland, California for 18 years. Here is a quote from that post:
