We would like you to gather some information for us.  We would like to know where your U.S. Representative stands on education policy.  If you don’t know please take time to contact them with the questions below:

  1. Does your U.S. Representative support Common Core?
  2. Does your U.S. Representative support a federal testing mandate?
  3. Does your U.S. Representative believe parents have the right to opt their student out of assessments?
  4. Does your U.S. Representative support student data collection?
  5. Did your U.S. Representative vote for H.R. 5, the Student Success Act?

The first four questions the choices are: yes, no or not sure.  The “not sure” answer is that your U.S. Representative is not sure, not whether you are sure or not.  If you are not sure go find out!

We would like to be able to share this as a resource later on so your participation and research is appreciated!  You can fill the survey out here or use the form below.

    My House member is Steny Hoyer, MD-5th. He’s a total liberal. He voted against H.R. 5.
    That surprised me. I suspect because the federal control over education wasn’t complete enough for him.

Campbell’s Law

"The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor."
