Oh okay thank, I'm strongly against it but I can understand just not agreeing with its implementation.

Here's a quote on her talking about the issue:

We have to do things differently, but it should all be driven by the same commitment to try to make sure that we educate every child. That’s why I was a Senator and voted for Leave No Child Behind because I thought every child should matter and should be (told) ‘you are poor,’ ‘you got disabilities so we are going to sweep you to the back so don’t show up on test day because we don’t want to mess up our scores... No! Every child should have the same opportunity and so I think we have got to get back to basics, and we have got to look to teachers to lead the way on that.

I entirely agree with her on this. A lot of times, communities (such as the black community) are severely hurt by the fact that they are held back in educational standards and we need to work to make sure all schools across the country are held to the same standard and are given the help needed to ensure that. She also wants teachers involved in leading this idea, which I also support. The current implementation limits teachers in their creativity, which I strongly oppose. But, I do think it's important to make sure all students are given access to more or less equal educational standards.
Education is legitimately one of my biggest issues, especially as someone who is looking to be a professor one day.
