Editing Hillary Clinton (section)

== On Education ==
“When I think about the really unfortunate argument that’s been going on around Common Core, it’s very painful, because the Common Core started off as a bi-partisan effort — it was actually nonpartisan. It wasn’t politicized, it was to try to come up with a core of learning that we might expect students to achieve across our country, no matter what kind of school district they were in, no matter how poor their family was, that there wouldn’t be two tiers of education,” Clinton said.

Clinton then contrasts that view with the following quote saying teachers shouldn't be blamed as the problem, which many teachers feel they are under Common Core. "It is just dead wrong to make teachers the scapegoats for all of society’s problems. Where I come from, teachers are the solution. And I strongly believe that unions are part of the solution, too.” [[http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/07/will-hillary-clinton-continue-education-reform.html]]
