An alternative to Common Core – Lynn Stoddard

Does it make any sense to measure success by how early, or even, how well students can read, write and do math? Do not character and other human qualities count? Einstein said, “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” If we want real progress in public education, we must place more value on the things that are harder to measure, like curiosity, creativity and character.
