　　Common Core allows pupils in different states to be measured against each other. Until No Child Left Behind, an education act signed by George W. Bush that required states to test pupils annually, only 19 did so. Now they all must.
　　Common Core is also being squeezed from the left, where it is seen as part of a conservative drive to undermine teachers and their unions by continuous, unfair, testing. The Democratic Party in Washington state has condemned Common Core, and Randi Weingarten, head of the second-biggest teachers’ union, has said the standards must be “guides, not straitjackets.” Between these two ideological poles, it is a wonder America can improve its public schools at all.
