Former teacher Nora De La Cour thinks test-centric reforms have drained the life from public schools, demoralizing teachers and leaving students feeling disillusioned. She discusses the appeal of right-wing educational offerings and the battle for public education, the shift in teaching emphasis, sidelining of literature in the Common Core curriculum, teacher motivation, and the problems with standardized testing and education policy.
