If Common-Core-based metrics are to be the be all and end all of measuring the worth of an individual, then wouldn't it make the most sense to test our current educational reformers and the politicians who support them to insure that they all meet and surpass their own standards?
Obviously, their scores must be made public. They should be published in nationally syndicated newspapers. They should forever be stored in a "cloud," accessible to databases around the world, and, perhaps, even outside our galaxy, including those of marketers. How thrilling!
After all, what good is it to society if they or their children attend private schools and, thus, manage to elude the Common Core? Wouldn't it be unfortunate if the very self-same persons who profess to have all of the right answers for educational reform (developed with mere token contributions from true educators) failed by their own standards? What sense is there in that?
Imagine the horror if it should turn out to be true that our politicians and reformers starving for the Core actually are "Uncored," themselves! If they, perchance, should fail, we must offer them the opportunity to undergo several intensive weeks of test prep, perhaps, at taxpayer expense! Marketers with access to their database can flood them with helpful offers. After all, I ask you, isn't the Common Core providing for the Common Welfare?
